520    Episode Four “Pride of Our Nation” June 1944-August 1944 
       By June 1944, there are signs on both sides of the world 
       that the tide of the war is turning. On June 6, 1944 — D-
       Day — in the European Theater, a million and a half Allied
       troops embark on one of the greatest invasions in history:
       the invasion of France. Among them are Dwain Luce of 
       Mobile, who drops behind enemy lines in a glider; Quentin 
       Aanenson of Luverne, who flies his first combat mission 
       over the Normandy coast; and Joseph Vaghi of Waterbury, 
       who manages to survive the disastrous landing on Omaha 
       Beach where German resistance nearly decimates the 
       American forces. It is the bloodiest day in American 
       history since the Civil War, with nearly 2,500 Americans 
       losing their lives. But the Allies succeed in tearing a 45
       -mile gap in Hitler’s vaunted Atlantic Wall, and by day’s 
       end more than 150,000 men have landed on French soil. They
       quickly find themselves bogged down in the Norman 
       hedgerows, facing German troops determined to make them 
       pay for every inch of territory they gain. For months, the
       Allies must measure their progress in yards, and they 
       suffer far greater casualties than anyone expected. In the
       Pacific, the long climb from island to island toward the 
       Japanese homeland is well underway, but the enemy seems 
       increasingly determined to defend to the death every piece
       of territory they hold. The Marines, including Ray Pittman
       of Mobile, fight the costliest Pacific battle to date — on
       the island of Saipan — encountering, for the first time, 
       Japanese civilians who, like their soldiers, seem resolved
       to die for their emperor rather than surrender. Back at 
       home, while anxiously listening to the radio, watching 
       newsreels and scanning casualty lists in the newspapers 
       for definitive information from the battlefront, Americans
       do their best to go about their normal lives, but on 
       doorsteps all across the country, dreaded telegrams from 
       the War Department begin arriving at a rate inconceivable 
       just one year earlier. In late July, Allied forces break 
       out of the hedgerows in Normandy, and by mid-August, the 
       Germans are in full retreat out of France. On August 25, 
       after four years of Nazi occupation, Paris is liberated — 
       and the end of the war in Europe seems only a few weeks 
       away.
