Not really. D-day is standard military language for day one. The following days can then be D+1, D+2 etc. The actual date of a D-day is often decided at a late stage (as was the one in 1944) depending on the enemy's movements, the weather and the readiness of the troops.

D DAY was the day the allies went to recapture france the battle following Dieppe In World War 2 in comparisson to WW1 in a sense dieppe was like the battle of the sommes and dday was like the battle of vimy ridge. Dieppe was a failure and the lessons learned lead to the success of Dday. Dday played an important part in the allies fate because the allies recaptured france who had fell to russia only 6 weeks into war. this marked the last battle in europe in ww2.
