Many other people have come forward with ideas, but the most common one is that the invasion was postponed 3 times, for reasons like weather, from A-day to B-day to C-day and finally decided to go ahead with D-day, despite terrible weather!
The D in D Day was a simple code for the day designated by allied command during world war two to commence the invasion of europe through the northwestern shores of France
infantry and engineers
The Allies and the Axis.
yes, two of which are The longest Day and Saving Pvt. Ryan...........
The planning for D-Day took about two years, with detailed preparations and coordination among Allied forces.
By nightfall on D-Day the Allies had Oiustreham, Courseulles, Arromanches and Creuilly.
D-Day means the day which a military event will start. The D-Day you are referring to was an event where the Allies in World War Two stormed the beaches of Normandy to try and take France from Nazi Germany
While D-Day is used to refer to the Normandy landings, it is simply a reference of time for an operation. An operation begins on a "D-Day". D+1 is one day after the begining, D+2 is two days, and so on.H-Hour can also be used: H+1 is one hour after an operation, H+2 is two hours, and so on. They aren't usually used together. 1 1/2 days would be H+36, not D+1, H+12.
The day of the landings
Not really a question, but yes. The idea of D-Day was to create two fronts for Germany to defend.
