Detailed explanation-1: -Seventy-five years ago, the Allied powers in World War II decided to take the fight against Adolf Hitler directly to France. Planned for more than two years, the D-Day offensive was a full-scale invasion designed to push the Nazis back into Germany.
Detailed explanation-2: -The war would not be over by Christmas. But D-Day had opened another major front, where the bulk of America’s rapidly expanding army could at last be brought to bear. It led to the liberation of France, denying Germany any further exploitation of that country’s economic and manpower resources.
Detailed explanation-3: -They chose Normandy as the location for the D-Day landings, despite the Calais area offering a much shorter Channel crossing. Normandy had excellent landing beaches, was less fortified than Calais and was still within fighter aircraft range. ‘This operation is planned as a victory, and that’s the way it’s going to be.
Detailed explanation-4: -After much deliberation, it was decided that the landings would take place on the long, sloping beaches of Normandy. There, the Allies would have the element of surprise.
