This is not exactly phrased as a question. The Normandy Invastion on June 6, 1944 was conducted by the Allies in a mission originally called Operation Overlord. It was renamed but this code name stuck and became popular. Hitler was thrilled when the allies arrived even though they did not come to Calais as he figured they would. It ended up being an invasion that defeated Hitler in the end.

Why was the invasion of Normandy a significant event during World War 2?

The Normandy invasion was significant because it opened a second front against German-occupied Europe. The Soviets had been fighting against Germany almost entirely by themselves for over three years. While they had been slowly winning that fight, having the US and UK invade France took some of the pressure off them. Additionally, the invasion began the liberation of France. France had been overrun and occupied by Germany in 1940. Freeing France from the occupation would allow them to rejoin the fight against the Germans.
