D-Day
June 6, 1944, 160,000 Allied troops landed along a 50-mile stretch of heavily-fortified French coastline to fight Nazi Germany on the beaches of Normandy, France. General Dwight D. Eisenhower called the operation a crusade in which “we will accept nothing less than full victory.” More than 5,000 Ships and 13,000 aircraft supported the D-Day invasion, and by day’s end on June 6, the Allies gained a foot- hold in Normandy. The D-Day cost was high -more than 9,000 Allied Soldiers were killed or wounded -- but more than 100,000 Soldiers began the march across Europe to defeat Hitler.

Please note: The image above is SYMBOLIC, not historical. Captain America, Bucky Barnes, the Original Human Torch and Toro WERE NOT AT THE BATTLE OF NORMANDY.
I can neither confirm nor deny the presence of Prince Namor of Atlantis (codename: Sub-mariner) or Diana of Themyscira (codename: "Wonder Woman")
