No, the Yankee Division did not land in Normandy during the D-Day invasion on June 6, 1944. The Yankee Division, officially known as the 26th Infantry Division, was part of the U.S. Army but was not involved in the initial landings at Normandy. Instead, it saw action later in Europe, particularly in the liberation of France and the Battle of the Bulge.

Rollo of Normandy was a Viking. The better question is this: When did Rollo the Viking become Rollo of Normandy? Normandy was the title of the land granted to Rollo and his raiders after they threatened to sack Paris. The king of France, out of fear, gave the Viking raiders a piece of land on the northern coasts (called Nova Britannia at the time) that would later be called Normandy. Normandy means "Land of the North (or Norse) Man," i.e., the Vikings. Hope this helps!
They advanced inland to Caen and were held up by stiff resistance from the tanks of German 21st Panzer Div. ( the Allies were unaware these tanks were in Normandy)
