History: D-Day, which occurred on June 6, 1944, was the largest seaborne invasion in history and a pivotal moment in World War II. It marked the Allied forces' long-awaited assault on German-occupied Western Europe, specifically the coast of Normandy in France. The operation was codenamed Operation Overlord.
Preceding D-Day, the Allies conducted an extensive campaign of deception to mislead the Germans about the location and timing of the invasion. The actual assault involved around 156,000 Allied troops from the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and other Allied nations landing on five beachheads along a 50-mile stretch of the Normandy coast. These beaches were codenamed Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword.
The assault was supported by over 5,000 ships, including battleships, destroyers, and landing craft, as well as thousands of aircraft providing air cover and bombing runs. Despite meticulous planning, the landings faced significant challenges, particularly at Omaha Beach, where the German defenses were especially formidable. The American forces there faced heavy casualties, but ultimately managed to secure the beachhead.
In the days following D-Day, the Allied forces worked to expand their foothold in Normandy, battling fierce German resistance. The success of D-Day marked a turning point in the war, as the Allies gained a crucial foothold in Western Europe, enabling them to push inland and eventually liberate France from German occupation. D-Day paved the way for the eventual defeat of Nazi Germany and the end of World War II in Europe.
