The battle of Normandy started June of 1944 and ended August of 1944. The most important day of the battle of Normandy is the first day, which was called D-Day or Operation Overlord.

The Battle of Normandy was a pivotal moment of World War II in Europe. It outlined Germany's last chance to end the war on any favorable terms. However, a type of invasion of this magnitude took two years in the making strategically planning every significant moment and movement appeared to be an overwhelming task for the allied forces.

Here begins the Battle of Normandy also known as Operation Overlord. (McManus, 2013)

    Operation Overlord was the brainchild of  General Dwight D Eisenhower and as so, he was tasked with leading it. He was assisted by British Generals, mainly General Bernard Montgomery. At the end of the invasion, nearly 750,000 troops were either casualties or prisoners of war and many more civilians were killed in the crossfire or events preceding the invasion. While there is a long list of countries who sent men to fight in the invasion, the main effort was headed by American, British and Canadian forces.

It was supposed to be the “Overlord” of all plans and be a successful invasion. This was The Battle of Normandy.
