D-Day

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.

I want you imagine that you are 17 years old and in a landing ship. You are put near shore where you wade into German gunfire and people dying all around you. Watch the DDay footage of that day.

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.

To conquer the German divisions occupying the beaches of Normandy.

To create a second front in Europe.

D-Day, or the Normandy Invasions, occurred on June 6th, 1944.

Operation Overlord was commonly called D-Day or the Normandy Landings.

The allies were able to gain a strong foothold in France.

The Germans controlled the area and to enter Europe with a large enough force a beachhead was the best action. The Germans knew that the allies would attempt a beachhead but not exactly where. The English set up a decoy base so German spies would report back a wrong mass of troops and supplies.

Weather was bad. So Eisenhower changed the invasion from June 5 to June 6, as there was a short clearing period on June 6

It was the beginning of the Allied invasion of Europe. It began with the landing at Normandy, France. The invasion saw the largest amphibious assault in history

your question is lacking clarity using the word 'moeent'.....

Omaha beach, due to very heavy resistance by German forces...

Over 170,000 men survived the beach landings, Glider landings and parachuting in.

Operation Overlord was the code name for the Battle of Normandy, commonly referred to as 'D' Day.

I've heard as much as 50% casualities with airborne forces was expected.

probably Omaha...

code name was: OVERLORD

Because it was the largest invasion ever, almost 180,000 troops and their support vehicles and cargoes arrived on the first day alone.

General Eisenhower was quoted saying that.

The D-Day invasion of Normandy could not have happened without the US. America supplied millions of troops, many ships, aircraft and weapons.
