The History Of The Invasion Of Normandy

During World War II, Germany was ruled by the Nazi political party. Germany brought war to Western Europe on May 10th, 1940, with a primary goal of conquering France. By the time Germany got to France, the size of the French army had been reduced by almost half, and French leaders became resigned to an inevitable surrender.

The Invasion of Normandy, France was the invasion by/establishment of Western Allied forces in Normandy, during Operation Overlord in 1944. The Allied forces that fought in Normandy came from Canada, the Free French forces, the United Kingdom, the United States, Poland, Belgium, Czechoslovakia, Greece, and the Netherlands.The Battle of Normandy was fought in World War II in 1944. It was fought by the Allied forces against the Germans (and the Axis Powers). The Allies had plans to invade German-occupied France and help take it back. They planned a ninety day battle, ending when all the forces reached Seine. The plan was for the Allies to capture Caen.

Operation Overlord was the codename for the Allied invasion of northwest Europe.
