Detailed explanation-2: -The D-Day operation of June 6, 1944, brought together the land, air, and sea forces of the allied armies in what became known as the largest invasion force in human history. The operation, given the codename OVERLORD, delivered five naval assault divisions to the beaches of Normandy, France.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Allied landings at Normandy on June 6, 1944, opened a second front in Europe, and Germany’s abortive offensive at the Ardennes in the winter of 1944–45 marked the Third Reich’s final push in the west.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Normandy Invasion was incredibly important because it marked the beginning of the land offensive against the Germans in mainland Europe.
