Hitler had invaded France, so we fought over the control of France from Hitler. DDAY was a landing on a French beach. When the allies came into an area the French people were liberated from the German occupation.
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.
About 3000 people died on Dday.
