During World War II, the 'D-Day' invasion of Normandy (in northern France) involved mainly American, British, and Canadian infantry, along with Allied air and naval units of many types and consisting of many other nationalities also fighting against Nazi Germany. The fundamental role of the infantry units, serving as the key to the operation, was to seize the Normandy beaches then to advance inland, securing a base of operations from which a larger force could penetrate into German-held France -- and beyond.
