D-day was a plan to put a hole in the Atlantic Wall, exposing France to the Allies, in which they retook Europe from the Germans.
How might the outcome of WW2 have changed if the D-Day invasion had not been successful?
By the time the D-Day invasion occurred, Adolf Hitler was becoming more and more unstable in his thoughts and actions. He had visible signs of Parkinson's, and has been posthumously diagnosed with schizophrenia, drug addiction, and manic depression.
This was a psychotic man who had enormous power.
He was actually very pleased with the (beginning) D-day invasion because, as he said "we could never have taken the British in their own country, but now, they have come to us!".
Because the D-day invasion was a success for the Allied forces, Hitler realized that his troops were being over-run, and thus, began to realize that the war was coming to an end, and he was not the victor he thought he would be.
The failure of D-day for the Allied forces would have meant an invasion of England, and possibly even America!
There were U-boats that were approaching America, and Hitler and his scientists even had more advanced weapons that were in development to utilize. He also had recently come into possession of the American "mint" plates, which could have flooded America with counterfeit money, thereby destabilizing our entire economy, which would have been a disaster of epic proportions.

How was D-Day a big turning point for World War 2?
Operation Neptune-Overlord/D-Day represented the opening of the long-awaited "Second Front." With the Soviet Union and supporting partisan forces engaged in heavy, costly fighting on the Eastern Front, the Western Allies' invasion forced Nazi Germany to siphon off valuable resources to meeting this new threat.
Secondly, it was a symbolic gesture, a stunning reversal of the Allies' pell-mell defeat and narrow escape at Dunkirk in 1940; reminding Nazi Germany once again that the Allies would not back down from the conflict at hand.

The origins before Old French are even more tenuous, but chalet is attributed to the Vulgar Latin casalis"belonging to a house", from the Latin casa, "house", or the Old Provincial cala, "a small shelter for ships.
