What was D-Day and why was it significant?

Answer 1

D-day (June 6 1944) was the day that the allies (American, british, candian) landed on the beaches of France in an attempt to remove the nazi presence from France and eventually from Europe completely
D-Day was significant because it was the turning point of World War II. It marked the start of the Allies' invasion of Western Europe and paved the way for Allied victory.

D day is the day that the allied forces landed on the coast of France (Normandy) to begin the liberation of France and eventual defeat of the German war machine, resulting in the end of world war 2 in Europe.

**it was a key turning point and marked the beginning of the end of Hitler's reign**
It was the start of the Liberation of France in WW2. Steadily the Russians were rolling the Eastern Front back towards Berlin, but the landings of principally the US, British & Canadian forces, in great numbers, on the Normandy Beaches, signalled the nearing of the end of the Third Reich & Nazi domination in WW2. But it would be 11 months before the Germans finally surrender. It remains the largest amphibious operation in Warfare, a mighty feat of arms. It was important that the Allies got it right in terms of timing & effect ecause many lives would have been lost had they not fulfilled its objectives as they did. I suppose it was significant in that it represented to all that the Nazis would be overthrown, that Hitler would be removed from power.
June 6th, 1944 was the opening of the long-promised Second Front in the European Theater of Operations. It relieved pressure from the Soviet armies coming from the East, it hastened the end of the war considerably, and it prevented Western Europe (France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxemburg, West Germany, etc.) from falling into Soviet hands after the war.
