On June 6, 1944, the United States and the United Kingdom (with help from many other western countries) began the long-awaited attack from the west, the Normandy Invasion (Operation Overlord). On D-Day, the very first day of this massive amphibious invasion, thousands of ships, tanks, planes, and troops crossed the English Channel and landed on the coast of France.
