What was the importance of dday?

D-Day was designed to be the last push on germany. D Day was the first step in taking the war back to Hitlers Europe. At that time the Russians were pressing in the East and were taking most of the casualties in the war. Italy had been invaded by the Allies but a new front was required. Dday was the day on which (at that time) the greatest sea armada ever known was lauched against the Normandy coast. The invasion area was set into five beaches. Despite what Hollywood says it was not a solely US affair. The Americans had two of the areas, the British had two and the Canadians had one.

What geographed obstacle kept the 21st panzer divisi and oacuten from attacking the allies on DDay?

The 21st Panzer Division and other German forces were hindered by the difficult terrain around Normandy, particularly the hedgerows and bocage landscape. These dense, overgrown fields created natural barriers that restricted movement and visibility, limiting the effectiveness of armored units. Additionally, the surprise and chaos of the Allied landings on D-Day further complicated their ability to launch a coordinated counterattack. As a result, the combination of geography and the initial shock of the invasion delayed their response.
