During World War II, the Allied forces landed on five key beaches during the D-Day invasion on June 6, 1944, known as Operation Overlord. These beaches were codenamed Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and SWord, located along the Normandy coast of France. Each beach was assigned to different Allied countries, with American forces primarily landing at Utah and Omaha, while British and Canadian troops landed at Gold, Juno, and SWord. The landings marked a significant turning point in the war, leading to the liberation of Western Europe from Nazi occupation.
