The Normandy Campaign

The Normandy Campaign was a key World War II operation in June 1944, where Allied forces launched a massive amphibious invasion against German-occupied France. Known as D-Day, troops landed on beaches in Normandy to establish a foothold in Western Europe. This turned the tide against Nazi Germany by opening a new front, allowing the Allies to push inward and eventually liberate France. The campaign involved complex planning, coordination between land, sea, and air forces, and intense fighting, significantly contributing to the defeat of Nazi Germany.
