Allied victory in Normandy in 1944 was not achieved by British, American and Canadian forces alone. This 40-minute talk will look at the significant but often forgotten contributions made to the D-Day Landings by individuals, ethnic minority groups and nations from around the world.
Free admission. Please note standard admission charges to visit the museum and LCT 7074 still apply.
