D-Day

D-Day refers to June 6, 1944, when Allied forces launched a massive invasion of German-occupied France during World War II. It was a pivotal moment, marking the beginning of the liberation of Western Europe from Nazi control. The operation, known as Operation Overlord, involved thousands of troops landing on the beaches of Normandy, supported by extensive air and naval power. Despite fierce German resistance, the Allies gained a crucial foothold, which eventually led to the defeat of Nazi Germany. D-Day is often remembered for its bravery, planning, and the significant impact it had on the outcome of the war.
