Overlord (Operation Overlord)

Operation Overlord was the code name for the Allied invasion of Nazi-occupied Western Europe during World War II, launched on June 6, 1944, known as D-Day. This massive military operation involved troops from the United States, the United Kingdom, and other Allies landing on the beaches of Normandy, France. The goal was to establish a foothold in Europe, which would ultimately lead to the liberation of occupied territories and the defeat of Nazi Germany. Overlord marked a crucial turning point in the war, enabling subsequent advances into Europe and contributing significantly to Allied victory.
