Battle plans for the Normandy Invasion, the most famous D-Day

In the military, D-Day is the day on which a combat attack or operation is to be initiated. The best-known D-Day occurred during World War II on June 6, 1944—the day of the Normandy landings—initiating the Western Allied effort to liberate western Europe from Nazi Germany. However, many other invasions and operations had a designated D-Day, both before and after that operation.
