NW Okie's Journey

Join us as we pay tribute and remember 70 years ago, 6 June 1944, and the Allied Invasion of Normandy, Operation Overlord, that took place during World War II (WWII). While Gen. Eisenhower led the Allied forces at Omaha Beach, Gen. Patton was heading a top-secret ruse to fool Hitler in Operation Bodyguard, complete with rubber tanks, body doubles, fake radio chatter and double agents. It laid the groundwork for D-Day success on 6 June 1944.
