It was called D-Day because that's what the planning committee named it. Nobody really knows why.
There are dozens of good books about D-Day, certainly enough to fill a large shelf in your city library. -Among the best in my opinion are "The Longest Day" by Cornelius Ryan and "The Steel Wave" by Jeff Shaara.
Because there were 3 days until the actual battle A-day: change of plans B-day: storm C-day: storm again D-day: the invasion of normandy begins!! E-day: victory!! So they named it on the day it began D-day
D-Day was later called "The longest day" by author Cornelius Ryan who wrote the epic novel.
The Longest Day is the best-known film dealing with the Normandy Battle, or D-ay as it is popularily called. I mean D-day.
yes, two of which are The longest Day and Saving Pvt. Ryan...........
D-day means day of days, it mostly marks the start of a military operation.
