Join us to celebrate the opening of the newest special exhibit at the National Churchill Museum: D-Day Normandy: Operation Overlord. Special guest Allen Packwood of the Churchill Archives Centre will be in attendance for this special event.
On the night of June 5, 1944, 1,000 ships, the greatest armada ever to set sail, left the British isles, bound for the Coast of Normandy--its mission to liberate Europe. Operation Overlord had begun. For this exhibition, the paintings of three artists have been selected: Mitchell Jamieson, Alexander Russo, and Dwight Shepler. These paintings by the U.S. Navy's combat artists are the visions and images of the greatest amphibious operation ever launched--the Normandy Invasion.
“Leave the past to history especially as I propose to write that history myself.”
