Operation Overlord: The Strategic Assault of Allied Forces on Normandy

Operation Overlord, initiated on June 6, 1944, marked a pivotal moment in World War II as Allied forces led a massive invasion of Normandy, France. Strategically planned by General Dwight D. Eisenhower, the assault involved the landings at five beachheads: Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword. Delays and German defenses, including the Atlantic Wall spearheaded by Gerd von Rundstedt and Erwin Rommel, tested Allied resolve. Successful beach landings secured vital ports like Cherbourg and initiated liberation efforts across Western Europe.
