The Normandy Invasion

The Normandy Invasion, also known as D-Day, occurred on June 6, 1944, during World War II. Allied forces, primarily from the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada, launched a massive military operation to land on the beaches of Normandy, France. This assault aimed to liberate Western Europe from Nazi occupation. It involved extensive planning, deception tactics, and the coordination of air, land, and sea forces. The successful landing marked a turning point in the war, leading to the eventual defeat of Nazi Germany and the liberation of occupied territories in Europe.
