Richard Winters one of the D-Day heroes. After landing in Normandy, he led his squad of 13 paratroopers against German artillery crews shelling Utah Beach. His team not only defeated the enemy forces in the battle at Brecourt Manor but also captured a map of other artillery batteries in the area. This operation is cited to this day as an example of a skillful tactical attack of a small formation on the enemys stationary positions.

Completion of each individual task will bring you a trophy with one of the following rewards:
From 4th until 7th of June 1942 took place the Battle of Midway the decisive battle in the Pacific theater of WWII. The US was able to decipher the Japanese naval code and prepare for a surprise attack. As a result of the battle the Japanese fleet lost four heavy aircraft carriers and has since been forced to turn to the defense of captured territories.
The most important event of the Western Front. Allied forces under air cover landed on the shores of Normandy, beginning the liberation of France and then the rest of the Western Europe. On the 6h of June, also known as D-Day, more than 150,000 troops crossed the English Channel in the largest naval landing operation in history.
Over the 10th-11th of June 1982 the Israeli army was severely tested during the Lebanese war: three companies of its tank battalion were surrounded by Syrian armed forces. 11 battalions of Artillery fire supported a breakthrough of armored vehicles trying to compensate for reconnaissance failure, most of them succeeded in escaping the trap.
Just one week after D-Day there were fierce battles in the territory of Normandy. One of them took place near the town of Villers-Bocage where Germans with small forces were able to surround and rough up the British tanks thanks to the surprise attack and superiority of the Tiger heavy tanks. It took the Brits two months to capture the city.
On the 18th of June ended the month-long battle for Ancona an important port in eastern Italy from which the 2nd Polish Army Corps knocked out the German forces. It was the only battle of the Western Front in which only Polish troops took part on the Allied side.
On the 19th-20th of June 1944 the US fleet inflicted a crushing defeat on the Japanese fleet at the Battle of the Marianas. At the beginning of the battle Japan possessed the most powerful carrier corps in its history which practically ceased to exist by the end of the battle, leaving Japan with not enough aircraft for defense.
In honor of the prince Pyotr Bagration, the hero and an outstanding military leader of the Patriotic War of 1812, was named the large-scale operation which began on the 23rd of June 1944 to liberate Belarus and Lithuania from German occupation. The Red Army gained a confident victory over the Army Group Center of Wehrmacht and pushed it far away to the territory of Poland.
One of the most effective US aircraft of WWII was the Chance Vought F4U named the Corsair. Its first model designed for mass production was improved over the prototype: the cockpit was raised a bit and the hull strengthened to withstand landing on aircraft carriers. The first flight of the F4U-1 took place at the end of June 1942.

War Thunder is a free-to-play, cross-platform MMO combat game for Windows, Linux, Mac and PlayStation®4 dedicated to military vehicles used in and around World War II and the Korean War. In War Thunder, you can take part in major battles on land, in the air, and at sea, fighting with real players from all over the world in a continuously developing environment.
War Thunder already offers a highly detailed experience in military aviation and ground forces combat, giving players access to a Guinness World Record breaking number of aircraft, as well as an abundance of tanks and other combat vehicles - and the number is constantly rising.
You can feel the unmatched intensity of aerial dogfights in a fighter, the decisive power of commanding a heavy strategic bomber or the heat of battle in a ground attacker, delivering precision strikes against your enemies. Alternatively, you can join the spearhead of armoured vehicles, fighting for dominance over the battlefield on the ground: Man a heavy tank with impressive armour and firepower, use the maneuverability of a medium or light tank to your advantage, or support your team by screening the skies with your anti aircraft vehicle - the choice is yours!
In the future, the game will also allow players to ‘set sail’ by commanding a variety of warships in the fight over the control of the world’s oceans, giving the game a truly epic scale.
Master your vehicles through both upgrades and personal experience in an environment that is constantly expanding and rewarding the personal skill of the player. Organise your efforts in one of the countless player squadrons and become an ace pilot or tanker - or both! Our thriving and welcoming community of millions of players is also actively participating in the game’s ongoing development, offering custom content through War Thunder Live, such as skins, missions and even vehicles.
War Thunder has something for everyone. Play cooperative games with your friends on Windows PC, Linux, Mac or PlayStation 4 against AI, or squad up for a PvP battle in a difficulty setting matching your play style, ranging from Arcade to Simulator using Mouse and Keyboard, Gamepad or Joystick.
