General Dwight 'Ike' Eisenhower, as Supreme Commander of the Allied forces in Europe during World War II was charged with planning and carrying out the Allied assault on the coast of Normandy under the code name Operation Overlord. The ultimate aim was the liberation of Western Europe and the invasion of Germany. In the early hours of 6 June 1944, Allied forces began their assault against Hitler's "Fortress Europe", marking the beginning of D-Day in the largest amphibious assault ever launched. By the end of the day 155,000 Allied troops, including some 18,000 paratroopers and glider-borne troops, were in Normandy. The initial assault involved about 1,300 RAF planes, followed by 1,000 American bombers dropping bombs on targets in northern France.
The United States and Britain each lost about 1,000 troops whilst Canada lost 355 in the initial stages of D-day. The invasion cracked Nazi Germany's grip on Western Europe and marked the beginning of the advance that eventually ended the war with Germany. (source: www.today.wmit.net - June 6)

The Battle of Normandy or the Normandy Campaign are used as operational names.The Popular "Operation Overlord" is the name given to the entire western Allied campaign in France. This is sometimes confused with the name of the actual DDay landings campaign.The Normandy landings were operationally known as "Operation Neptune". This lasted until the landings were completed and the breakthrough into France began. This breakout campaign from Normandy into the rest of France during the Battle of Normandy is operationally known as "Operation Cobra"
