National Archives: Records Related to D-Day

June 6, 2017 marks the 73rd anniversary of the D-Day Invasion of Normandy. For readers who would like to learn more about this historic event, this page of Records Relating to D-Day from the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) may be of interest. For instance, visitors may watch a 1944 newsreel about the invasion or browse NARA's Online Catalogue, which contains almost 5,000 entries related to D-Day; 2,785 of these items are available online. Digitized items include additional newsreels, audio recordings, photographs, maps, and charts. Visitors may also view the transcript of an 1986 Department of Defense interview with D-Day veterans; read Franklin D. Roosevelt's D-Day prayer (delivered on June 6, 1944); and see a message drafted by Gen. Dwight Eisenhower on June 5, 1944, to be delivered in the event that the invasion failed. Collectively, these materials provide insight into D-Day and its enduring legacy.
