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
D-day was originally a military term to specify the day that combat was to be initiated. While June 6, 1944 is the best known D-day, the term was used frequently in military parlance before and after to describe the day the military began the fight, and it is still used frequently today.
Why did D-Day take place? Simple.
The Allies needed to both: A. Take back France, and B. Find a route of invasion into Nazi-occupied Europe. The northern coast of France, named Normandy, was the perfect spot. Thus, the D-Day invasion will take place here.
it stands for death day because so many died
D-Day is basically the day when things happen. The D stands for day in "D-Day"
The invasion of Normandy is called D Day because that is the military designation used for the starting day of any military operation. It is commonly thought to mean Day of Days.
It was planned so the Allies could get a foothold in Europe in order to defeat the Germans.
D day was just a generic military term for an operation on a specific date it stands for nothing in particular

My father was in the 149th combat engineer battalion. They landed on DDay on Omaha Beach. Their boat hit a mine coming in and several men were injured or killed. My father was injured, but able to go on.
D-Day was designed to be the last push on germany. D Day was the first step in taking the war back to Hitlers Europe. At that time the Russians were pressing in the East and were taking most of the casualties in the war. Italy had been invaded by the Allies but a new front was required. Dday was the day on which (at that time) the greatest sea armada ever known was lauched against the Normandy coast. The invasion area was set into five beaches. Despite what Hollywood says it was not a solely US affair. The Americans had two of the areas, the British had two and the Canadians had one.
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.
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.)
For Skirmish Dday you have to call. I assume it is the same for Oklahoma and other big dday games also.

D DAY was the day the allies went to recapture france the battle following Dieppe In World War 2 in comparisson to WW1 in a sense dieppe was like the battle of the sommes and dday was like the battle of vimy ridge. Dieppe was a failure and the lessons learned lead to the success of Dday.
