On the 6th of June, 1940, Germany took over Western Europe by force, along with France, Netherlands and Belgium. To fight and free these countries, the American, Canadian and Britain Army got involved together, and performed the BIGGEST military procedure ever attempted on sea, air and land. This courageous operation would be known as, D day. (D stands for D so it’s kinda weird…. Day day…. ANYWAYS) THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS of American, Canadian and British soldiers landed on the beaches, air planes and ships to support them. They managed to take back ALL five of the beaches they targeted. (Which was made easier, as just weeks before hand, they had tricked Germany into thinking they were headed for another part of the French coast, when in actual fact, were NOT.)
D Day was a HUGE turning point for the war, as before, British troops had no access to Western Europe, but after this affair, allied soldiers had a way to send their people to fight against the Germans, and begin freeing countries taken by Nazis.
The Germans ended up splitting their forces between the Eastern Front, and the Western Front, weakening their side, fast forwarding to the end of the war.
