Normandy landings

The Normandy landings were the landing operations of the allied invasion of Normandy during World War II.

The landings took place in 1944, commencing on 6 June. First the area was checked by minesweepers, they were followed by submarines and then three British battleships. The landing took place across numerous beaches along the coast. Nine-thousand allied troops were dead or wounded by the time the fighting ended. (EDA: The Taint)The landings took place in 1944, commencing on 6 June. On that day, whilst Winston Churchill was organising the landings, he was brought to 2010 by the showman Vorgenson. He was soon returned by the Eleventh Doctor. (SP: The Monsters Are Coming!)

In an alternate timeline, the Normandy landings took place before the summer of 1942. Three of Britain's special Ironsides quickly overran the German forces. (DWAN: Doctor Who The Official Annual 2011)
