Operation Overlord

Operation Overlord was the code name for the Allied invasion of Nazi-occupied Western Europe during World War II, which began on June 6, 1944, known as D-Day. It involved a massive amphibious assault on the beaches of Normandy, France, where thousands of troops landed by sea and air. The operation aimed to establish a strong foothold in Europe, ultimately leading to the liberation of France and the defeat of Nazi Germany. It was one of the largest military operations in history and marked a turning point in the war, demonstrating Allied cooperation and strategic planning.
