D-Day, celebrated on June 6, 1944, marked the Allied invasion of western Europe, significantly facilitating the liberation of northern France by the end of August 1944. This operation involved the simultaneous landing of U.S., British, and Canadian forces on five beachheads in Normandy, France, which allowed the Allies to reorganize their forces for a drive into Germany [7].

The operation, known as Operation Overlord, was a culmination of wartime planning that showcased a strong commitment from Allied leaders and ultimately played a crucial role in hastening the defeat of the Nazi regime by uniting forces attacking from both the west and the east [7].
