The names of the Normandy D-Day beaches were chosen for operational security and simplicity. Each beach was assigned a code name that would be easy for Allied forces to remember and communicate, while also maintaining a level of secrecy. The names were derived from various sources, including the phonetic alphabet, with "Utah" and "Omaha" chosen for the American landing zones, and "Gold," "Juno," and "Sword" for British and Canadian forces. The use of such names helped to obscure the true nature of the invasion from the enemy.

156,000 british, American and Canadian troops landed over five beaches: Omaha, Utah, gold, sword and juno. also three airborne divisions landed behind the beaches: the US 82nd and 101st and the british 6th airborne division. while this was happening, hundreds of allied fighter bombers eg p47 thunderbolt and p51 mustangs were inland from the beaches hitting strategic targets and isolating the normany area from German reinforcement. The allied soldiers, sailors and airmen who took part in this put their lives on the line to free western Europe and should always be remembered with greatest respect. The German general Erwin Rommel said D Day would be the "longest day" because if the Germans could not drive the allied assault back into the sea the allies would prevail in the long term.

DDay was a major turning point in WW2, after this Hitler and his Nazi regime was doomed and the people of western Europe would again be able to live in freedom and peace.
