D-day is the term used in military campaigns for day of operation when the exact date is not determined. H-hour refers to the hour of operation. Ex. D+l is the day following the operation.
The D Day you are referring to I believe is the day of the Normandy Invasion in France during World War 2. It was conducted to invade enemy territory (held by the Nazi Germans) so they could drive the Germans out of the nations they had invaded and oppressed. The Allied Forces had to drive the Nazis out of France and all the other European countries occupied by the Nazis to liberate the oppressed peoples of Europe. This gained the freedom of the world essentially.
There are actually many D days in World War 2. For example there were the D Days of Africa, Italy, Greece, Norway, all the Pacific Island battles, and China. But most people think of D Day being the day the Allied Forces landed on the Normandy France beaches.
