Detailed explanation-1: -It was the start of the campaign to liberate Europe and defeat Germany. The Battle of Normandy was a hard-fought campaign. British divisions bore the brunt of German resistance on the eastern flank of the front, enabling US forces to stage a breakout in the west.
Detailed explanation-2: -Their objective was to gain a foothold in Nazi-occupied France, so they could push inwards towards central Europe and dismantle Adolf Hitler’s regime. The odds were never in the Allies’ favor. “Operation Overlord, ‘’ as the entire D-Day was called, was an incredibly challenging plan to begin with.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Normandy beaches were chosen by planners because they lay within range of air cover, and were less heavily defended than the obvious objective of the Pas de Calais, the shortest distance between Great Britain and the Continent.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Battle of Normandy is the name given to the fighting in Normandy between D-Day and the end of August 1944. Allied code names for the beaches along the 50-mile stretch of Normandy coast targeted for landing were Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno and Sword.
