D Day was June 6, 1944, when operation Overlord, the invasion of Europe by the Allied Expeditionary forces against the German occupiers began. There are a number of movies that either tell this story or incorporate the story. They include D-Day, the 6th of June; Saving Private Ryan; and The Longest Day. There are others, but these are the ones that came to mind. The History Channel often has segments dealing with D-Day. The attack had to be held back for 24 hours.
D-Day was one of the largest naval invasions in history, conducted by the Allies during World War II. It took place on June, 6 of 1944. The assault was conducted in two parts: an air assault landing of British, American, Canadian and Free French troops, and an amphibious assault of Allied infantry and armored divisions on the coast of France, Normandy.

D Day refers to the Allied invasion of the coast of Normandy. Hundreds of thousands of British and American soldiers arrived in ship and about twenty five thousand paratroopers came via plane to attack the German holdings in France. It was a major Allied victory and marked the beginning of the end of World War II for Germany.
