It is often called the "Longest Day" as it was the start of the liberation of Western Europe from Germany.

Why was George s Patton give command of a fake army before d-day invasion?
The Allies set up a fake base so any Nazi spy would think that the invasion would happen in another place than Normandy.

The fake base idea worked because the Germans didn't have Normandy beach as well armed as they could have had.

Who invades Normandy during World War 2?
The Allies invaded Normandy during World War II. The Allies were composed of the British, the French, and the Americans, but only the Americans and the British invaded Normandy.

Why were the Normandy beaches so important in world war 2?
For the invasion of Nazi held Europe to succeed it had to be done rapidly, before the Third Reich could maneuver its forces into place for the most effective defense, and the beaches of Normandy are immediately opposite England, across the channel, and can be reached quite rapidly. They were therefore a good place for an invading force to land. There were lots of other places where the Allies could have attempted a landing, but they would probably have been observed getting into position, and there would have been more time for defenses to be prepared (although as we know, the beaches at Normandy were also defended, and the landing was accomplished at a very high price in human life).
