U.S. paratroopers fix their static lines before a jump before dawn over Normandy on D-Day June 6, 1944, in France. The decision to launch the airborne attack in darkness instead of waiting for first light was probably one of the few Allied missteps on June 6, and there was much to criticize both in the training and equipment given to paratroopers and glider-borne troops of the 82nd and 101st airborne divisions. Improvements were called for after the invasion; the hard-won knowledge would be used to advantage later. (AP Photo/Army Signal Corps)

An East London family moves to safer quarters after losing their home on the opening night of the Blitz. The first German air raid on central London took place on the night of August 23, and the British retaliated with an attack on Berlin two days later. The Blitz, Hitler's attempt to demoralize the English people through concentrated bombing of population centers, particularly London, and industrial facilities, began on the night of September 7, 1940, and lasted until May 11 the next year.
