D-Day stories on DCM (June 6th)
« on: June 06, 2022, 03:41:14 PM »

Hi Gang,
Today marks a big day in world history, D-Day, the invasion by the allies into Europe on the beaches of Normandy, France.

There are a few books on DCM with stories about this momentous day.  There might well be more than I didn't find, if anyone knows of more please share a DCM link here to the stories.  Sadly several D-Day stories were published after 1959 which we don't share or were made in books that are not in the public domain.

The stories I could find are at the following links:

Men Against Odds - Operation: Peril #11 (June-July 1952):

Many thanks for doing the legwork and researching this information. D-Day and its importance to the world seems to be fading away sometimes, so it's nice that sites like this and people like you still honor it.

I'm one of those readers who always enjoy supplementing historically significant dates by checking out popular cultural reflections of them, so your post is most appreciated. I'm also inspired at times to seasonally pair off reading/watching/listening material that somehow relates to such varying things as weather and holidays, etc. If nothing else, it always give me a kick to get to some of the TBR pile and that's a good thing, no matter the inspiration.
