The purpose of D-Day was to establish a beachhead in western continental Europe (France) from which armies from Great Britain could attack. The Allies already had considerable success in Italy, but the reconquest could not come entirely from the south. The opening of the western front left Germany unable to move troops to stop the Soviets, who were advancing on the eastern front.
The purpose of the D-day invasion was to liberate mainland Europe from Nazi occupation during World War II.
They wanted to defeat Europe by invasion.
The Turkish peninsula that was the scene of invasion by allied forces in 1915 was the Gallipoli Peninsula. The aim of the invasion was to secure the Dardanelles Strait and establish a supply route to Russia, but it resulted in heavy casualties and ultimately failed in its objective.
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.)
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.
It prompted the Soviet Union to seek to protect Cuba from future attacks.
It was the beginning of the Allied invasion of Europe. It began with the landing at Normandy, France. The invasion saw the largest amphibious assault in history

Meade needed to end Lee's invasion of the North.
The objective was to land as many soldiers and support vehicles as possible.
For Skirmish Dday you have to call. I assume it is the same for Oklahoma and other big dday games also.

They wanted to defeat Europe by invasion.
D-Day, the Allied invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944, was primarily caused by the need to establish a Western front against Nazi Germany during World War II. The planning was influenced by prior successes in North Africa and Italy, as well as the desire to relieve pressure on Soviet forces in the East. Weather conditions significantly affected the operation, with initial delays due to poor weather leading to a last-minute decision to proceed despite unfavorable conditions. This combination of strategic necessity and environmental factors shaped the outcome of the invasion.
