Officially, Operation Overlord, or more commonly it was known as 'D-Day' or sometimes as the Battle of Normandy.
The term "D-Day" refers to the designated day on which a military operation is set to commence. The "D" itself doesn't stand for a specific word; instead, it's a placeholder used in military planning to denote the day of an operation, with "H-Hour" indicating the specific time. The most famous D-Day is June 6, 1944, when Allied forces launched the invasion of Normandy during World War II.
