The first Allied invasion of the European mainland during World War II took place at Normandy, France, on June 6, 1944, commonly known as D-Day. This massive operation, known as Operation Overlord, involved troops from the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and other Allied nations landing on five beachheads: Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and SWord. The invasion marked a significant turning point in the war, leading to the liberation of Western Europe from Nazi occupation.
