Operation Overlord Plan

Operation Overlord was the Allied plan during World War II to invade Nazi-occupied Western Europe, primarily through a massive naval and air assault on Normandy, France, on June 6, 1944 (D-Day). It involved detailed coordination of land, sea, and air forces to establish a foothold, allowing further liberation of occupied territories. The operation required careful planning, deception strategies to mislead the Germans about the invasion location, and extensive logistics to move and supply large numbers of troops. Its success was a turning point in the war, enabling the Allies to push back German forces and eventually liberate Western Europe.
