The "D" does not stand for "Deliverance", "Doom", "Debarkation" or similar words. In fact, it does not stand for anything. The "D" is derived from the word "Day". "D-Day" means the day on which a military operation begins. The term "D-Day" has been used for many different operations, but it is now generally only used to refer to the Allied landings in Normandy on 6 June 1944. When a military operation is being planned, its actual date and time is not always known exactly. The term "D-Day" was therefore used to mean the date on which operations would begin, whenever that was to be. The day before D-Day was known as "D-1", while the day after D-Day was "D+1", and so on. This meant that if the projected date of an operation changed, all the dates in the plan did not also need to be changed. This actually happened in the case of the Normandy Landings. D-Day in Normandy was originally intended to be on 5 June 1944, but at the last minute bad weather delayed it until the following day. The armed forces also used the expression "H-Hour" for the time during the day at which operations were to begin.

The Invasion of Normandy was significant for 2 main reasons. 1. It was the first action where the allies had combined all forces and invaded the German Atlantic Wall (Hitler's defense around the beaches of Normandy). 2. Because Nazi Germany had control over all of France, it posed a threat to Great Britain as it was so close. It had to be claimed and the allies needed a starting point to push the Germans back to Berlin. *This, the Battles in Northern Africa, and the Soviets in the East resulted in Nazi Germany's surrender.
