On June 6, 1944, Allied forces launched the D-Day invasion of Normandy during World War II.
Known as Operation Overlord, the assault involved thousands of ships, aircraft, and troops crossing the English Channel to begin the liberation of Nazi-occupied Western Europe. Despite heavy resistance and significant casualties, the landings established a crucial foothold in France and marked a major turning point in the war.
D-Day remains one of the largest amphibious military operations in history and a defining moment in the Allied victory in Europe.
