Operation Overlord was launched over 76 years ago on June 6, 1944. Commonly known as D-Day — a military term for the first day of a combat operation — it was the largest seaborne invasion in history and it kick-started the Battle of Normandy, which successfully opened a second, Western front in Nazi-occupied Europe.
