During World War II, the initial execution of Operation Overlord should be considered a general success on all counts, with beach-heads established at all points of the invasion and various inland positions secured by the end of the first day. Its immediate aftermath may be termed a partial success, as the beach-head was expanded and secured, additional troops were landed, and all attempts by German forces to throw the invasion back were thwarted -- yet, none of the decisive inland objectives were achieved, thereby leading to a general stalemate between the opposing forces until weeks later.
