Notable June 3rd in History –

1944 – Allied Supreme Headquarters in England was hindered in its invasion plans of Normandy, France, scheduled for June 5^th, by deteriorating weather conditions. Both High seas and gales created hostile conditions for sea and air operations. However, Meteorologists determined that there would be a slight break in the weather on June 6^th. General Eisenhower,

after much thought and soul-searching, gave the go ahead for the invasion on the 6^th.
