The day of the massive invasion of the beaches at Normandy is known as D-Day.
Allied forces (American, British, Canadian) landed on beaches at Normandy, France, beginning the land invasion of Europe.
Normandy, region in the North of France. The allied forces landed on beaches roughly between the Cherbourg peninsula and the Orne river estuary.
The Allied forces that landed were American, British and Canadian soldiers with smaller elements from many of the other Allied countries.
The Allied forces which landed on the Normandy beaches did not actually fight in the capture of Berlin, which was a Russian battle. After landing on the European mainland the drive to Berlin took less than a year.
During the Battle of Normandy, there were five designated beaches where Allied forces landed on June 6, 1944. These beaches were codenamed Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword. Each beach was assigned to different Allied nations, with American forces landing at Utah and Omaha, British forces at Gold and Sword, and Canadian forces at Juno. The landings were a crucial part of the D-Day invasion, marking the beginning of the liberation of Western Europe from Nazi occupation.
Over 150,000 soldiers landed on the 6th June. Many more came every day after that until there were over 2.5 million Allied servicemen in Europe
