D-Day: Code Name - Overlord : Code named "Operation Overlord", the D-Day invasion of Nazi occupied Europe was a meticulously planned and jealously guarded secret in which the outcome was by no means certain. The Nazi's expected the assault and Germany's defensive position on the headlands of Normandy, the so-called Atlantic Wall, was a formidable obstacle to success. For the plan to succeed, the Allies first had to convince the Germans that the attack would come at Pas de Calais and then secretly launch the largest invasion in the history of warfare. The deception worked and on the morning of June 6, 1944, the Allies hurled more than 150,000 men and thousands of ships, aircraft and vehicles against the heavily fortified German defenses. Despite enormous losses, the invasion proved successful and gave the Allies a tremendous victory and a long sought after foothold on the continent.
