what does DDAY REPRESENT FROM WW2?

Question

We remember Dday but how many know what it represents or stands for. I forgot myself and am hoping there is a history buff out there can can refresh my memory.

Answer 1

That would be the commemorization of a huge sacrifice on the part of many U.S. soldiers in their invasion on the beach of Normandy. Huge waves of soliders sacrificed themselves (mostly unknowingly) setting off landmines so the soliders coming after them could "safely" pass.

Answer 2

D-Day -
On June 6, 1944, a date known ever since as D-Day, a mighty armada crossed a narrow strip of sea from England to Normandy, France, and cracked the Nazi grip on western Europe.

What did the D in D-Day stand for?

D-Day is a general military term for the day on which an operation or exercise is planned to commence. The choice of the letter D has no significance, and any other letter could equally be used.

The most famous D-Day was 6 June 1944, the beginning of the Allied invasion of France, although there were numerous others during the Second World War.

Similarly, H-Hour is a general military term for the exact time at which an operation or exercise is planned to commence. As with D-Day, the actual choice of letter has no significance. Other designations, such as Zero-hour, can also be used.

Answer 3

D-Day is the day the Battle of Normandy began during WWII, which commenced the Allied Forces' attempt to defeat the Axis Powers and liberate mainland Europe from Nazi Germany's reign. It falls on June 6th, I believe.

Answer 4
