It occurred during the Second World War, which began in 1939.
The invasion took place in Normandy beach and, while the Allied were landing, the German army were waiting for them on the cliffs. They attacked them and lots of Allied lives were lost.
The operation began with the liberation of France, one of the countries which were occupied from Nazi control, and contributed to the Allied victory.
During the war, uncountable lives were lost, at least 10,000 casualties and 4,414 confirmed dead. ]]> 2017-07-20 16:11:51 UTC https://padlet.com/nayar/dday/wish/179134470 https://padlet.com/nayar/dday/wish/179134645 The event occurred the 6th of June in 1944, in Normandy, France. ]]> 2017-07-20 16:15:55 UTC https://padlet.com/nayar/dday/wish/179134645 https://padlet.com/nayar/dday/wish/179134729 United Kingdom.

German coastal defenses were stretched thin in 1944, as the Nazis prepared to defend all of the coast of north-west Europe. The Allies had already employed deception operations against the Germans, aided by the capture of all of the German agents in the United Kingdom and the systematic decryption of German Enigma communications. Once Normandy had been chosen as the site of the invasion, it was decided to attempt to deceive the Germans into thinking it was a diversion and that the true invasion was to be elsewhere.]]> 2017-07-20 16:40:21 UTC https://padlet.com/nayar/dday/wish/179135831 z741594050 https://padlet.com/nayar/dday/wish/179193168 Inflatable tanks were used during Operation Fortitude, one of the three major operations making up Bodyguard.]]> 2017-07-21 14:41:52 UTC https://padlet.com/nayar/dday/wish/179193168 z741594050 https://padlet.com/nayar/dday/wish/179193388 Ironside was implemented entirely via double agents.
