Jun+1944+Allies+invade+Europe+in+D-Day

D-Day was the invasion of Normandy, France. It was originally set for June 5, 1944, but due to weather conditions it didn't actually take place until the folowing day-June 6, 1944. It was fought on a beach that was a 60-mile stretch of land in Normandy [1]. This is where the Allies (American, British, and Canadian troops), fought Germany. Before the attack even took place there was a phanton army and headquarters already set up in order to keep the secrecy of the plan. They didn't want the Germans to know what they were going to do next. The Allies were under Eisenhower's direction at this time. He is the one who set up the phanton army and ordered their attack on the French port of Calais, which was 150 miles away [2]. July 25 was the day that the Allies actually started to defeat the Germans. August 25 marked the day that the Allies won the battle and marched into Paris. The Allies had already won France, Belgium, Lexumbourg, and Paris. Now they wanted Germany.
