Today marks the beginning of the Normandy Landings, D Day, and the opening of a second front in Europe against N**i Fascism.
The Communist Party played a key role in opening up a second front in Europe, with our former General Secretary Harry Pollitt publicly lobbying for Britain and our allies to actively take the fight to the Fascists in 1942.
Our contribution to the victory over N**i Germany is one of the proudest chapters in the history of Britain’s working class - and it belongs to the working class. It had nothing to do with the predatory motivations of imperialist wars and interventions since.
Celebrate the victory over fascism achieved by the peoples of Britain and the Soviet Union.
