Neptune (Operation Neptune)

Operation Neptune was the code name for the Allied naval invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944, during World War II, known as D-Day. It involved hundreds of ships, landing crafts, and aircraft crossing the English Channel to establish a foothold in Nazi-occupied France. The goal was to open a western front, enabling Allied forces to push back German defenses and begin the liberation of Western Europe. The operation required meticulous planning, coordination, and bravery, ultimately contributing significantly to the defeat of Nazi Germany.
