WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Normandy Invasion, also called Operation Overlord or D-Day, during World War II, the Allied invasion of western Europe, which was launched on June 6, 1944 (the most celebrated D-Day of the war), with the simultaneous landing of U.S., British, and Canadian forces on five separate beachheads in Normandy, France.

Detailed explanation-2: -Planners had divided the landing zone into five separate beaches. The British and Canadians landed at Juno, Gold, and Sword beaches. The Americans landed at Omaha and Utah beaches. The fiercest fighting was on Omaha Beach where the enemy was positioned on steep cliffs that commanded the long, flat shoreline.

Detailed explanation-3: -Stalingrad remains the most important ground battle of the war, resulting in the capture of Germany’s Sixth Army under Field-Marshal Friedrich Paulus. The Sixth Army began their assault in August 1942 and was collapsing by November. Units had to be brought from elsewhere to replace enormous casualties.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
