Normandy landings - 6th of June, 1944

The Normandy landings were the landing operations and associated airborne operations on Tuesday, 6 June 1944 of the Allied invasion of Normandy in Operation Overlord during World War II. Codenamed Operation Neptune and often referred to as D-Day, it was the largest seaborne invasion in history. The operation began the liberation of France (and later Western Europe) and laid the foundations of the Allied victory on the Western Front.

Re: Normandy landings - 6th of June, 1944

Great post, Millerke! Thank you for remembering this day. D-Day stands for Devil's-Day, the attack was launched on day 6, month 6, at 6 o'clock in the morning. It was a baseless attack in fortified areas, just to cause as much bloodshed to both sides. The war was already lost for Germany in the Western front, with the advances from the south-belly in Italy, not to mention the collapsing and retreating Eastern front.
