D-Day did not come before world war 2 and a D-Day never comes before a war - it is a planned attack/mission/operation during a war. D-Day is the first day of the battle or operation. The subsequent days are called D day plus 2, D Day plus 3 and so on until the battle or operation is over.
It was Operation Overlord. D-Day was the first day.
