When did d day happen?

Answer 1

D-day, or Dembarkation day, took place on June 6, 1944. Early in the morning two American Airborne Divisions and one British Airborne Division was dropped behind enemy lines. Later, the Allied forces stormed the beaches along the Normandy coast. They were codenamed: Gold, Sword, Juno, Utah, and Omaha. The Canadians assaulted Juno beach and encountered little German resistance. The British attacked Gold and Sword beaches also meeting little resistance. The Americans assaulted Utah beach where they meet more resistance than the other three. But, Omaha was a different story. The men ran across the huge beach with no where to run or hide and were shot down. When they reached the end of the beach they were stuck along the cliffs for hours. It was said that when the battle was over that the waves literally ran red with blood. Another assault took place at Point du Hoc. The American 2nd Rangers climbed the high cliffs of which the Germans above were shooting at them. Their mission was to destroy the hidden enemy guns on the top. But, when they reached the top they found that the guns had been moved and replaced with telephone poles. The guns were found hours later in an apple orchard. But, the battle was just beggining.
