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.
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: -In other words, the D in D-Day merely stands for Day. This coded designation was used for the day of any important invasion or military operation.
Detailed explanation-4: -On 6 June 1944 – ‘D-Day’ – Allied forces launched the largest amphibious invasion in the history of warfare. Codenamed Operation ‘Overlord’, the Allied landings on the beaches of Normandy marked the start of a long and costly campaign to liberate north-west Europe from Nazi occupation.
Detailed explanation-5: -Dwight D. Eisenhower called the operation a crusade in which, “we will accept nothing less than full victory.” More than 5, 000 Ships and 13, 000 aircraft supported the D-Day invasion, and by day’s end, the Allies gained a foot-hold in Continental Europe.
