On June 6th, 1944 an enormous allied invasion force comprised of English, American, Polish, Canadian, Dutch, Greek, Czechoslovakian and Belgium troops crossed the Atlantic and engaged German forces entrenched in France.

As well as the combined airborne forces, D-Day was one of the largest amphibious assaults in history, and the overall aim was to not only push German forces out of France, but to advance across Europe and eventually conquer Berlin.

This fantastic history gift is a replica edition of the Daily Mirror from June 7th, 1944, giving you a unique insight into the battles that took place on that important day. You can actually hold a piece of history in your hand.

It’s a complete reprint of that edition including all adverts, letters and cartoons as well as news stories, giving you a look at culture and society during the 1940s as well. It’s also a brilliant learning aid for children covering WW2 at school.

And in addition to this paper we will also include a free copy of the Daily Mirror from May 8th, 1945, better known as ‘VE-Day’! This is also a complete reprint and shows you the big news from the day victory was finally declared in Europe.
