The Landing in Normandy was an Allied operation during World War II against German forces.
It took place on June 6, 1944 and was attended by 3 million people.
Britain intended to push Germany to the west and the Soviet Union to the east.
Thus, huge allied forces began to gather on British soil. The main ports of Normandy were occupied by the Germans so it was decided to create two prefabricated ports.
The voyage started from Britain on June 5 with forces from the USA, Britain, Canada and French volunteers. The landing took place in five places and at the same time there were paratroopers.
On the eastern front, most of the German forces were against the Soviet Union. Thus they were far behind in manpower and material resources on the west compared to the Allies on the western front. The landing was made using 5,300 ships and 13,500 aircraft.
The other important element that helped the decisive victory of the Allies was that the Germans expected the attack in Pas-de-Calais and not in Normandy, with the result that their few forces were concentrated elsewhere.
