Get to know key historical figures, including American presidents Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman, American general Dwight D. Eisenhower, American general Omar Bradley, British prime minister Winston Churchill, British commander Bernard Law Montgomery, Soviet leader Joseph Stalin, German leader Adolf Hitler, German commander Erwin Rommel, and German field marshal Gerd von Runstedt. Put yourself on Omaha, Utah, Gold, Juno, or Sword beach as you learn about military strategy and the resulting casualties of Operation Overlord, the invasion of Normandy.
