What was the D-Day invasion?

The D-Day invasion, also known as Operation Overlord, was a military operation that took place on June 6, 1944, during World War II. It involved the Allied forces, primarily the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada, launching a massive amphibious assault on the beaches of Normandy, France. The objective of the invasion was to liberate Western Europe from Nazi Germany's control and establish a foothold for the Allies to launch further offensives against Hitler's forces. D-Day marked a turning point in the war and ultimately led to the defeat of Hitler and the end of Nazi Germany.
