The Battle of Normandy

The Battle of Normandy was a major World War II campaign that took place in June 1944, involving Allied forces launching a large-scale invasion of Nazi-occupied France. The goal was to establish a foothold in Western Europe, enabling further advances into occupied territory. The Allies faced difficult, heavily fortified German defenses along a 60-mile stretch of coastline. After intense planning and coordination, they successfully stormed beaches such as Omaha and Utah. This pivotal battle marked the beginning of the Allied push into occupied Europe, ultimately leading to the liberation of France and contributing significantly to the defeat of Nazi Germany.
