What happened during D-day?
D Day was June 6, 1944, when operation Overlord, the invasion of Europe by the Allied Expeditionary forces against the German occupiers began. There are a number of movies that either tell this story or incorporate the story. They include D-Day, the 6th of June; Saving Private Ryan; and The Longest Day. There are others, but these are the ones that came to mind. The History Channel often has segments dealing with D-Day. The attack had to be held back for 24 hours.
