Best Answer

It is referred to as "D-Day" or the Normandy Invasion or Operation Overlord. There are actually many D-Days. The term refers to the start of any war campaign not just the Normandy Invasion but that particular D-Day invasion was the largest one that had ever happened. There were 6,000 ships in that invasion and hundreds of planes. There were over one hundred thousand people in that invasion too.
