June 6, 1944 is the day that will live on in world history as the day when the Allied armies led
by Great Britain, Canada and the United States landed at Normandy with hundreds of thousands
of troops and millions of tons of supplies, vehicles and weapons. It will forever be remembered
in history as the day the Allied countries started the beginning of the end of the Nazis as a
power in Europe and the day that started the liberation of France. With Dwight D. Eisenhower
as the Supreme Commander of all Allied military, he helped plan this great operation for over
a year. "Operation Overlord" was a success as the German armies were pushed off the beaches
of Normandy and forced to retreat all the way back to Germany. The European theater of World
War II was coming to an end and would officially end with the total surrender of Germany in
the spring of 1945, less than one year after D-Day.
