June 6th is most prominently remembered for the 1944 Normandy Invasion, known as D-Day, where 156,000 Allied troops landed on the beaches of France to begin the liberation of Europe during World War II. This operation, part of the larger Operation Overlord, remains the most significant seaborne invasion in human history. We also examine the lives of three major figures born on this day: the influential 17th-century French playwright Pierre Corneille, the dominant Swedish tennis champion Björn Borg, and the versatile American actor Paul Giamatti. To round out the day, we explore the 1933 debut of the drive-in movie theater in Camden, New Jersey, which transformed the American social landscape for decades.
