Best Answer

D-day.The "D" does not stand for "Deliverance", "Doom", "Debarkation" or similar words. In fact, it does not stand for anything. The "D" is derived from the word "Day". "D-Day" means the day on which a military operation begins. The term "D-Day" has been used for many different operations, but it is now generally only used to refer to the Allied landings in Normandy on 6 June 1944.
