On June 1, 1944, most people of France were unaware of what was about to happen; That same day, Stella Dubious ran for her life, while everyone else was oblivious. Five days later, D Day occurred. The plan to liberate France from Nazi occupation had been in the works for a year. Months and months of precious planning, rescheduling, meetings, and mayhem took place before D Day. But all that planning was almost ruined. World War II started September 1, 1939 when Germany declared war, then invaded Poland. Two days later, Britain and France declared war on Germany. The Nazi's had alliances with other countries; these countries were know as the Axis. Countries that fought against the Nazi regime were known as the Allies. In May of 1940,

“D-Day”, is considered one of the most significant battles of World War ll. D-Day is also known as the “Battle of Normandy”, or, “Operation Overlord”. The Battle of Normandy began in June 1944, and ended around August 1944. By the end of the war around August 1944, all of France had been cleared of Nazi forces. D-Day is considered a huge factor with the end of World War II and the Nazi Party due them having to push out of France and back into their initial land of Germany. Later on as the Nazi Party was pushed back into Germany, more allied forces collaborated to officially wipe out the Nazi Party in Germany. D-Day was initialized as it was approved by General Dwight D. Eisenhower. After the approval of the general, troops landed on the French coasts to neutralize the Nazi Party and to recover the land.
On September 1, 1939, Adolf Hitler invaded Poland. This led to a widespread war across many nations. This war was later called World War II.

D-Day was the battle that is accredited with ending World War II. D-Day helped the Allied counties to advance into Germany. After the invasion the Allied troops marched towards Germany. Battle of the Bulge was a last minute German attempt to stop the advancing U.S forces. Germany attempted to use a blitzkrieg. The cold winter also caused many problems for both sides. Radios stopped working do to the cold. Guns jammed more often. The Allied forces was not ready for the extreme cold, many solders would wrap old news paper around their feet to help keep warm. Unfortunately the newspaper would become wet from the snow, many solders would get frostbite some where on their body. The Allied troops had to use new tactics to deal with rarely seen tanks.

Britain and France desperately awaited the moment when the US would fully join in the fighting in Europe during World War II, and D-Day brought that full fledged involvement. If not for the efforts of the United States of America, its cooperation and planning with its allies, the invasion would not have been successful. It was successful, however, due to previous planning, the level of supplies and men from the US combined with the European allies, as well as the divided German forces. D-Day was the beginning of liberation of Western Europe from Nazi control. Hitler had known that in order for the Allies to be successful, there would have to be an invasion of mainland Europe - which his forces controlled most of - and that it would come from northwestern Europe, with Great Britain being the jumping off point. But if he was expecting the attack, why was he not better prepared? The planning that had gone into the invasion at the beaches of Normandy on the coast of France had been thorough and extensive, with a large part of that planning being the intentional disinformation about the location of the invasion, thus fooling the Nazi leader. These factors explain why Operation Overlord was successful, and thus became the turning point in the world war.
