''Copied from Wikipedia

Operation Overlord was the codename for the Battle of Normandy, the Allied operation that launched the successful invasion of German-occupied Western Europe during World War II. The operation was launched on 6 June 1944 (D-Day) with the Normandy landings (Operation Neptune). A 1 200-plane airborne assault preceded an amphibious assault involving more than 5 000 vessels. Nearly 160 000 troops crossed the English Channel on 6 June, and more than two million Allied troops were in France by the end of August.
