The most important long-term effect was that Operation Overlord (the Normandy Invasion) was that it set the stage for the Allied victory in Europe. By opening a western front, it forced Hitler to fight 2 full-time battles; one against the Americans and Brits, the other against a resurgent Soviet Union who wanted both revenge and victory for the atrocities the Germans had perpetrated on the Russians. A little-known fact was that the Army lacked expertise in conducting amphibious operations and sent a group of generals and senior staff to learn from the Marines how to conduct landings under fire.
The Normandy Campaign is traditionally considered to have concluded with the liberation of Paris on Aug. 25, 1944.

While it didn't guarantee his downfall, it did go a long way towards that goal.
The area of Normandy that the invasion took place was roughly 50 miles long and 10 miles deep on the first day, 6 th June, although the American parachute divisions landed in a large cluster up to 20 miles inland at the western end of this.
It was a turning point for the war on terror. 9/11 closely followed this event. who ever wrote this is an idiot. the invasion of Normandy started the war for the oceans between the US and japan during WWII. it was at least a generation before 9/11. Two idiots the invasion of Normandy opened the long awaited second front against Nazi Germany. British, Canadian and US forces landed on the Normandy beaches on the 6th June 1944 (D-Day). This placed Hitler's armies in the jaws of a vice between these forces in the west and the Soviet Russian armies in the east.
I am told it is about a three hour drive. you are told wrong. Normandy is a big place. You can get to the borders in an hour from Paris, and go on for another two or three and still be in Normandy. Of course, the questioner might mean the D-Day Invasion beaches, which many Americans refer to as Normandy - which is like calling Chicago Illinois. The nearest of the invasion beaches is about two and a half hours from Paris; allow another half-hour to Omaha Beach, 20 minutes more to Utah beach.
The invasion it self occured on 6 June 1944 - mid-July 1944. So it lasted around 1 month and 2 weeks.
The long term effect on the Normandy Invasion is that it led to end of Adolf Hitler. The short term effects is that it led to the loss of lives.ANS 2 - All war leads to the loss of lives, that is the nature of war. -The real short term effect of D-Day was to land a massive force with armour and artillery in the face of the German Armies occupying France. This immediately began to push the Germans back, especially when Allied aircraft of the 2nd Tactical Air Force were able to operate from French soil only 4 days after the invasion.

Where in Normandy? It's two hundred miles wide.
During World War II, the Allied invasion of Europe in 1944 struck primarily and directly on the Normandy coastline of France. Located in the central portion of the northern coast-border of France, Normandy was chosen by Allied planners as the best possible 'gateway' through which Allied forces could pass so as to establish the long-awaited Second Front against Nazi-occupied Europe.
