no, d-day is a generic term used in the military for the day that an operacion begins. but ever since WW2 invasion of Normandy, D-day is associated with that particular day.

The invasion actually lasted over 3 months . D-Day was only the first day.
Not really. D-day is standard military language for day one. The following days can then be D+1, D+2 etc. The actual date of a D-day is often decided at a late stage (as was the one in 1944) depending on the enemy's movements, the weather and the readiness of the troops.
D-day was one day in the Invasion of Normandy. Therefore, D-day was over at midnight on June 6, 1944. However, the Invasion of Normandy continued.
one day ______________________________________________________ The day itself ,as the name suggested, was one day but the process of establishing a beachhead and a stable platform of operation that was the objective of D-Day lasted weeks.
Yes, it was the first day of Operation Overlord.

Actually, this is a myth. President Obama is one of four presidents who DID go to visit the D-Day memorial in France.
D-Day was exactly 24 hours from midnight on the 5th to midnight on the 6th. Subsequent days were D+1, D+2 and so on.
The successful D-Day operation created a EAST and WEST Germany during the cold war. Had D-Day NOT been successful, there might have been only one communist controlled Germany during the cold war.
history only records 5 beaches at normandy....................on D Day
My Father was one of the troops who fought during D-Day.
no to this day no one is entirely sure why it is called d-day, historians believe it was d-day was for decision day because it would decide the rest of the war, the only person who knew was general Dwight Eisenhower who took the secret to his grave. Eisenhower took this secret to his grave because D-Day stood for death day. Ask yourself 'Why would Eisenhower take 'Decision- day' to his grave?
The D-Day Landing was on 6 June 1944. It may be useful to note that every Allied amphibious landing had a D-Day assigned to it, and a H-hour. D-Day was the designated day of the invasion and H-Hour was the time at which it was to start. It was only after World War 2 that the term D-Day became attached only to the invasion of Normandy.
There was only one German aircraft seen over the beaches on D-Day. This was attributed to constant attacks on their airfields by the Allied forces.
It is only D-Day. Not the battle of. Before D-Day, we had launched a series of offensives against Axis-occupied northern Africa.
The invasion actually lasted over 3 months . D-Day was only the first day.
