The Normandy Landings, also known as D-Day, occurred on June 6, 1944, during World War II when Allied forces launched a massive invasion of Nazi-occupied France. Approximately 156,000 troops from the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and other Allied nations landed on five beachheads along a 50-mile stretch of the Normandy coast. This operation marked a pivotal turning point in the war, leading to the liberation of Western Europe from Nazi control. The successful landings laid the groundwork for the subsequent Allied advance into Germany.
