D-Day - 80th Anniversary Poppy Pen · Fountain Pen

欧洲胜利日,亦称VE-Day,是纪念盟军于1945年5月8日星期二正式接受纳粹德国武装部队无条件投降之日,标志着第二次世界大战欧洲战场正式结束。

2025年5月8日,这一具有重大历史意义的日子将迎来80周年纪念,而纳粹军事力量走向终结的开端,则始于1944年6月6日的D-Day,当日盟军发起了战争史上规模最大的海陆空联合行动。代号为“霸王行动”(Operation Overlord)的诺曼底D-Day登陆战役,拉开了长达十一个月战役的序幕,最终解放了被占领的欧洲。

德怀特·D·艾森豪威尔将军于1944年6月6日,自盟军远征军最高统帅部,向15.6万名将士撰写了他著名的当日命令(Order of the Day),内容如下:

"Soldiers, Sailors, and Airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Force!

You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you. The hope and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you. In company with our brave Allies and brothers-in-arms on other Fronts, you will bring about the destruction of the German war machine, the elimination of Nazi tyranny over the oppressed peoples of Europe, and security for ourselves in a free world.

Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well equipped and battle-hardened. He will fight savagely.

But this is the year 1944! Much has happened since the Nazi triumphs of 1940-41. The United Nations have inflicted upon the Germans great defeats, in open battle, man-to-man. Our air offensive has seriously reduced their strength in the air and their capacity to wage war on the ground. Our Home Fronts have given us an overwhelming superiority in weapons and munitions of war, and placed at our disposal great reserves of trained fighting men. The tide has turned! The free men of the world are marching together to Victory!

I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty and skill in battle. We will accept nothing less than full Victory!

Good luck! And let us beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking."

您可知道,D-Day并非诺曼底登陆的专属称谓?D-Day是一个通用军事术语,泛指任何重大军事行动的发起日期,其中的“D”即代表“Day”(日)。当具体日期尚属机密或尚未确定时,便会使用这一称谓。尽管诺曼底登陆最为著名,但第二次世界大战期间还有许多其他至关重要的D-Day。
