The Battle of the Bulge

Because the Normandy Invasion was the start of the liberation of (Western) Europe from Nazi tyrrany. The Russians were desperate for a distraction of German military power that had affected them so grieviously, and the Germans needed to be defeated to end the terrible occupation of the land of many millions of people.

The Normandy Campaign. It began on June 6, 1944 (commonly known as D-Day), and is held to end on June 30, 1944, with the start of Operation Cobra which was the plan by United States Army General Omar Bradley to break out from the Normandy area after the previous month's D-Day landings. Operation Cobra lasted until 31 July 1944.

An American infantryman had a helmet, rifle, bombs, and surplus ammunition.

The names were created in 1943 by the COSSAC committee led by British General Frederick Morgan.

There where over 5,000 Higgins [ landing crafts] used on D-Day.

Overlord

about 140,000 men landed on Utah beach with ten thousand made it out alive

it was the biginning of the end of the war.......................

General Dwight David Eisenhower of the US ARMY was the Allied Commander for the Normandy Invasion. He had all the allied forces under his command for that ( not the Pacific Theater forces obviously ) and his local officers in direct charge were General Montgomery in command of British and Canadian Forces and Gen Omar Bradley, US Army , in charge of American Forces.

Women, while not enlisted in the armed forces at the time, landed on the beaches of Normandy during the days following D-Day, after the beaches had been cleared. These women took to the beach as Red Cross workers to assist with the dead and dying that laid on the beach after the landing.

The Allies got ashore and drove inland, in a year the war was over.
The outcome was that Allied armies had a firm grip of France and were there to stay. One of the greatest German officers, Field Marshal Erwin Rommel had said at a Germans staff meeting - "If we don't repel them from the beaches, we have lost" - he was correct.

No women at all were on the beaches on D-Day. Female Red Cross workers started arriving in the following days AFTER the beaches had been cleared of German troops.

Exact numbers are unknown, but at the time hardly any women were in the U.S. army.

It avoided a land invasion of Japan which would have been extremely bloody with a high death toll for the attacking forces

The U.S. attacked Omaha and Utah beach. The British forces attacked Gold and Sword beach. The Canadians attacked Juno beach with the assistance of the British.

Yes, it stopped the Nazi threat .

The supplies would be lost and it could be a turning point in the war

No such records exist.

All of France was liberated.

Any operation can be designated with a number or letter to indicate the commencement of an operation. The particular June 6, 1944 invasion was simply a massive invasion of allied forces upon a designated landing area. From which point they would commence inward movements towards their assigned objective(s).

During World War II, the immediate outcome of 'Operation Overlord,' as the Allied invasion of Normandy, France, was called, was the securing of a beach-head in Europe for the Allies. Considered less immediately, the operation led to the breakout of powerful Allied armies into the interior of France and then, months later, the final surrender of Germany.

During World War II, the code-name for the Allied invasion of Normandy (France) was 'Operation Overlord.' This invasion took place on June 6, 1944, and was successful.
