The invasion was key in forcing the Germans to retreat east.
On June 6, 1944, a battle known as D-Day kicked off. Some 156,000 American, British and Canadian forces landed on five beaches along a 50-mile stretch of the heavily fortified coast of France’s Normandy region. It was the largest seaborne invasion in history. The operation began the liberation of German-occupied France (and later Europe) from Nazi control.
