Battle of Normandy

The Battle of Normandy, also known as D-Day, was a pivotal World War II event that took place in June 1944. Allied forces, mainly from the United States, Britain, and Canada, launched a massive amphibious invasion on the beaches of Normandy, France, to help free Western Europe from Nazi control. This complex operation involved meticulous planning, coordination, and deception. It marked the beginning of a major offensive that pushed German troops back and eventually led to the liberation of France, significantly altering the course of the war and leading to the defeat of Nazi Germany.
