Operation Overlord marked a decisive turning point in World War II. On June 6, 1944, Allied forces launched the largest amphibious invasion in history, breaking through Nazi defenses in Normandy and opening a long‑awaited Western front. The success of Operation Overlord weakened German control in Western Europe, accelerated the liberation of occupied nations, and shifted the strategic momentum toward the Allies. Its significance lies not only in its military scale but in the coordination, sacrifice, and resolve it demonstrated. D‑Day proved that a unified coalition could challenge tyranny and reshape the course of global conflict.
