It's the 60th anniversary of quite a lot of things; 1944 was a busy year. Off the top of my head, I can think of:
Monte Cassino
Operation Anvil (the invasion of southern France)
The Battle of the Bulge
The Russian army smashing Army Group Centre and finishing any hopes of even a stalemate for Germany.
Stalin deliberately stopping the Russian army short of Warsaw so that the Polish Home Army was destroyed.
