The D-Day Invasion began on June 6, 1944, and marked a major turning point in World War II. It was the largest seaborne invasion in history, involving soldiers from the United States, Britain, Canada, and other Allied countries. Their target: the beaches of Normandy, France. Germany, which was in control of France at that time, had built a massive wall along the coast to keep the Allies out. However, the Allies had a plan! They built fake tanks and planes to trick Germany into thinking the invasion would happen elsewhere. Meanwhile, thousands of soldiers trained in secret for the real invasion. On the day of D-Day, the weather was terrible, but the commanders decided to go ahead with the plan. Paratroopers were dropped behind enemy lines to disrupt communications, while thousands of ships and landing crafts approached the beaches. It was a tough battle, but the bravery and determination of the soldiers paid off. By the end of the day, the Allies had established a foothold in France. This marked a turning point in the war and led to the end of Germany's dominance in Europe.
