D-Day
Which D-Day? The ‘Bodyguard Of Lies’ That Fooled Hitler
‘Operation Overlord’ was the invasion of Normandy.
‘Operation Neptune’ was the naval component.
Visit the Forces Network’s D-Day page to learn more about the landings themselves.

Bear in mind, though, that Overlord and Neptune aren’t the entirety of the D-Day story.
Ever heard of:
‘Operation Bodyguard’?
Or ‘Fortitude’?
These other two portions of the D-Day campaign are perhaps less well known, but no less important.
