D-Day (Operation Neptune)

D-Day, also known as Operation Neptune, was the Allied invasion of Normandy, France, on June 6, 1944, during World War II. It was a massive military effort to establish a foothold in Western Europe and push back Nazi forces. Thousands of soldiers from the United States, Britain, Canada, and other countries stormed beaches under intense German resistance. The operation involved complex planning, deception strategies, and coordination of land, sea, and air forces. D-Day marked the beginning of the liberation of Western Europe from Nazi control and was pivotal in turning the tide of the war in favor of the Allies.
