The US British & Canadian forces landed on 5 Beaches. There were 2 parachute landings on the flanks. The Germans countered with tanks & the invasion, having established a bridgehead, was successful when the US forces under General Patton (US 3rd Army) launched Operation Cobra, which freed France & liberated Paris. The British & US forces advanced into Holland & eventually into Germany.
