ABOUT 1994 -Proof - 200 Sk D-Day - 50. výročí vylodění spojeneckých vojsk v Normandii
The Second World War was the most extensive and most destructive military conflict in the human history. Sixty one countries were gradually drawn into the conflict and more than 50 million people were killed.
The landing of the Allies in Normandy, under the code name of operation Overlord or D-Day, took place on 6.6.1944. It was the greatest air and sea operation of the Second World War, marked the opening of the second front in Europe and significantly accelerated the end of the Second World War. Slovaks also participated in the operation as part of four Czechoslovak air force units.
The Slovak National Uprising broke out on 29.8.1944 and was one of the most important military actions in German controlled territory. By it, the Slovaks joined the Allies in the Anti-Hitler coalition. Its main fighting force was formed by a sixty thousand strong army with partisans, who controlled the territory of central Slovakia for two months.
