Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -D-Day in French is “Le Débarquement”, which literally means ‘disembarkation, disembarking, landing’. The French also call D-Day “le Jour J”, but it’s not very common.
Detailed explanation-3: -During World War II (1939-1945), the Battle of Normandy, which lasted from June 1944 to August 1944, resulted in the Allied liberation of Western Europe from Nazi Germany’s control.
