June 5th, 1944, Dwight David Eisenhower postponed Operation Overlord due to bad weather. The next day, Allied forces landed on the beaches of Normandy in France and gained a foothold in Europe to end WWII.

Canada, Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand, and the USA, primarily.

It's codename was called Overlord

It was America, England, and Canada. Russia helped to plan the Normandy invasion during the Tehran Conference, and definitely supplied troops. There were no Russian commanders during the June 6th invasion. America was commanded by Dwight D. Eisenhower and England's Winston Curchill took control of both his homeland and Canada. :)

one day

______________________________________________________

The day itself ,as the name suggested, was one day but the process of establishing a beachhead and a stable platform of operation that was the objective of D-Day lasted weeks.

I think they fought in the pacific, battle of new guinea and southern Philippines for sure.

The D-Day invasion was during World War 2 when the Allied powers (America, France, Britain, and others) landed in Normandy, France to try to break the German's cruel grip on Europe in 1939-1945.

I'm not sure of you mean the actual turning point of D-Day itself, or how it was a turning point for the war, so I will briefly answer both.

Turning point on D-Day:

All things considered, there really were no major turning points during the day, as the entire invasion was a success. The Initial invasion by the allied paratroopers allowed key roads and bridges to be captured, and also allowed German artillery positions to be attacked (featured in Band of Brothers, at Breacourt Manor). On the beaches, the invasion forces were able to move inland relatively quickly, so there were points where D-Day looked as if it would be a failure, meaning there was no real turning point.

Turning point for the entire war:

D-Day was the most important turning point during the war due to its importance in stretching the German Forces and hitting the Germans hard. The combined effort by all of the allied forces on D-Day marked the turning point in the war, as it was the largest invasion attempt by the allies. It was also the start of US Operations in Northern France, and the US proved to be critical in defeating the Germans in Europe. On D-Day, around 156,000 Allied troops took part in the operation, around 73,000 of them American. With the massive assault on Europe, the Germans were forced to bring in troops from Russia and North Africa, stretching the German lines thin. This allowed the Russians to make major advancements, and the combined force of the allies and Russians led to Germany's defeat.

Zero.

Normandy is right on the french coast. The beaches where the D-Day landings took place are all in Normandy. The ports of Caen and Ouistreham are both in Normandy.

2374 men from multiple military units died on Omaha Beach on D Day. A total of approximately 4000 men were killed on D-Day (including the Paratroopers). It got worse the next day as they had to get through the hedgerows.

Americans, British, French, and Canadians.

Thousands of Americans, along with thousands of other allied troops invaded Normandy.

D -Day started at 00.01 ( just after midnight ) on the sixth of June. British glider troops landed and seized the Pegasus Bridge near Caen at 00.14, almost 6 hours before the seaborne landings. Shortly after this American paratroops of the 82 nd and 101st Divisions landed about 30 miles west of Caen and occupied the fields inland of Utah and Omaha Beaches.

Yes, D-Day was very successful.

The general plan for the invasion of Europe by the allies.

The German Military, for the most part, did not expect the Allied invasion to land at the widest part of the English Channel, Normandy. They expected (again, for the most part, not entirely) the invasion was more likely to come at the Pas de Callais, the shortest point of the English Channel and therefore the shortest distance between France and England. This prompted German forces toreinforce the French beachhead at the Pas De Callais with much more men, supplies, defenses and defense positions than in Normandy. Only German General Rommel, placed in command of Normandy shortly before the D-Day invasion, suspected the Allied attack on the Normandy beachhead. There was not enough time, though, to reinforce Normandy to his liking.
