What operation was launched with the Normandy landings (D-Day)?
Operation Overlord (6 June - 30 August 1944) was launched by the largest seaborne invasion in history known as D-Day. Although the Allies didn’t exactly reach their goals on the first day, it was a great success. More than two million Allied troops were in France by the end of August, allowing them to liberate Paris on 25 August and forcing Germans to retreat five days later.
