Usually the term D-day indicates the day that was the turning point of WWII. June 6, 1944 was the day the allies invaded Normandy, and began their push to drive the Germans out of France.
In general the terms "D-Day" and "H-Hour" are used for the day and hour on which a combat operation is to begin.

Dday is the largest amphibious invasion in history. It marked the beginning of the end of Hitlers Nazi Germany. It forced them to fight on a second front, drawing much of their forces from the Eastern Front (Russia.) It began denying the German navy direct access to the worlds oceans, ending their ability to stop reinforcements and supplies from the US from getting to England. It pushed their air forces back and out of range of England as well.
