X-WR-CALDESC:6 June 1944: D-Day: Remembering D-Day: 'Fighting Fierce. We Ne
 ed Help!'\n\nThe risks were enormous\, but so were the potential gains tow
 ard final victory. \n\nOn June 5\, 1944\, 176\,000 Allied troops boarded p
 lanes\, ships\, and landing crafts to take part in the most monumental amp
 hibious military operation in history which began the liberation of Wester
 n Europe from Nazi control during WWII. By the end of June 6\, 155\,00 All
 ied troops had successfully stormed the beaches of Normandy\, France to fi
 ght Nazi Germany. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower called the operation (Operatio
 n Overlord) a crusade in which\, “we will accept nothing less than full vi
 ctory.” \n\nSome of these Allied troops were Native American Code Talkers.
  Code Talkers\, such as the Comanches\, had undergone training as Communic
 ations Specialists and then months of additional training to devise and me
 morize a code that included at least 250 military terms and phrases so the
 y could provide secure voice communications on the battlefield. And that's
  exactly what they did at Normandy. Code Talkers\, such as the ones pictur
 ed here from the 4th Signal Company\, 4th Infantry Division\, provided sit
 uational reports and called in close air support and direct fire on enemy 
 positions to support their fellow soldiers. Upon landing\, they began rela
 ying information in Comanche code. Charles Chibitty radioed the first mess
 age from the beach to headquarters: 'Fighting fierce: We need help!'\n\nTh
 e cost in lives on D-Day was high. More than 9\,000 Allied Soldiers were k
 illed or wounded\, but their sacrifice allowed more than 100\,000 Soldiers
  to begin the slow\, hard slog across Europe\, to defeat Adolf Hitler’s cr
 ack troops. Within three months\, the northern part of France would be fre
 ed and the invasion force would be preparing to enter Germany\, where they
  would meet up with Soviet forces moving in from the east.\n\nPhoto shows
