What happened at the D-Day (Normandy landings)
On June 6, 1944, Allied troops from the United States, Britain, Canada, and other nations landed on five beaches in Normandy, France, codenamed Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword, in an operation known as D-Day. Preceded by airborne landings and a massive naval and air bombardment, the invasion aimed to establish a foothold in Nazi-occupied Western Europe and open a new front against Germany. Thousands of soldiers were killed or wounded, particularly at Omaha Beach, where defenses were strongest. Despite heavy casualties, the landings succeeded, allowing Allied forces to advance inland. D-Day marked a turning point in World War II, leading eventually to the liberation of France and the defeat of Nazi Germany less than a year later.
