On D-Day, one man earned the only Victoria Cross of the entire invasion. His name was Stanley Hollis. A former merchant sailor and lorry driver from Middlesbrough, Hollis landed on Gold Beach on 6 June 1944 with the Green Howards. That morning he charged a German pillbox alone — firing into the slit, climbing on top, throwing grenades — then pushed down a trench and captured a second bunker. Later that day in Crépon, he dragged a Bren gun forward and fired from the hip to draw enemy fire, saving two pinned-down comrades. The only VC awarded for D-Day. Presented by King George VI. Earned before sunset on the longest day. © MilitaryHistoria #drthehistories
