The Normandy Campaign refers to the military operation that began on June 6, 1944, known as D-Day, during World War II. Allied forces, primarily from the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada, launched a massive invasion on the beaches of Normandy, France. This operation aimed to establish a foothold in Europe and ultimately liberate it from Nazi occupation. Following the initial landings, the campaign involved intense fighting as Allied troops pushed inland against German defenses. The successful establishment of a beachhead allowed for the subsequent liberation of Paris and contributed significantly to the defeat of Nazi Germany in 1945. The Normandy Campaign is considered a pivotal moment in the war.
