It was the turning point of World War II. More than 9,000 U.S. and allied soldiers lost their lives, but the invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944, commonly known as D-Day, allowed these 160,000 troops to gain a foothold in Nazi occupied France.

POCATELLO, Idaho (KLIX) – They are big, they are fierce and, lucky for us, they don’t live here anymore. But starting Saturday you can view their fossil remains at the Idaho Museum of Natural History.

The 'Vikings' of History's namesake will be back to raid, pillage and plunder a second season beginning February 27, but before they do, they may need to settle some differences of their own. See Ragnar Lothbrok take on his brother Rollo as opposing armies clash in the first clips from 'Vikings' season 2 premiere "Brother's War"!

The History channel's first original series, 'Vikings,' certainly caught our attention last year, but at nine episodes, Ragnar and his brood came and went far too quickly. That all changes in February 2014, as History has officially set a premiere date for the 10 episodes of 'Vikings' season 2!

The other day saw one of our first looks at History's 'Vikings' season 2, teasing the coming chaos with a surprising clash of Lorde's "Glory and Gore," but the real clash has yet to begin. The first official photos of the the season have arrived, putting Ragnar (Travis Fimmel) and his brother Rollo (Clive Standen) at odds across an epic battlefield?
