During World War II, the "D-Day" event was important for primarily one reason: it began the Allied re-conquest of the European continent. While Allied troops had already landed in Italy, all eyes were focused on the more important areas in Western Europe still held by strong German forces. On June 6th of 1944 -- D-Day -- that hold began to break with the Allied invasion of Normandy.

Patton was given command of a fake army to confuse German spies as to where the invasion was going to take place. Patton's intent was to make them think of Calais as the target. It apparently worked as the Germans strengthened troops in Calais area.
