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: -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: -The Normandy Invasion was incredibly important because it marked the beginning of the land offensive against the Germans in mainland Europe. The Allies were able to secure a significant amount of beach so they could initiate a ground offensive toward Berlin, while the Soviets started their offensive in the east.
