The Normandy landings, also known as Operation Overlord or D-Day, were the allied forces' invasion of German-occupied Normandy, France during World War II. The operation began on June 6, 1944 and involved over 156,000 troops from the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and other allied nations. The goal of the operation was to establish a western front against the German army in Europe and ultimately liberate France from Nazi control. The Normandy landings were a significant turning point in the war and ultimately led to the downfall of the Third Reich.
