Ernie Pyle was on a ship in the English Channel and landed on the Normandy Beaches on June 7, the day after D-Day.
D-Day was June 6, 1944 - the Allied invasion of German-occupied France in Normandy. The code word for D-Day was Mickey Mouse.(Note: D-Day is simply a codeword, like H-Hour.)
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"
on the 6/6/1944 the greatest beach landing in the history of warfare occured on a few beaches like ''gold'' and ''sword''. but the biggest kill zone was in ohama beach. 3 hours of blood lust, more than 5,000 deaths for 200m of ground.
They landed on Normandy beach.. and were pressing inwards into Europe to take down the Nazi regime
D-day is the term used as code to describe the start of the retaking (Normandy sea landings) of Europe in the Second World War. D-day in military terms means Deployment Day. The actual name for the operation was operation Overlord
