Operation Overlord was the code name for the invasion of western Europe during World War II by Allied forces. The operation began on 6 June 1944 with the Normandy Landings (commonly known as D-Day) when an airborne assault preceded an amphibious assault. Nearly 160,000 troops crossed the English Channel on 6 June, and more than 3 million troops had landed by the end of August.

- Operation Overlord was the code name for the invasion of western Europe during World War II by Allied forces. The operation began on 6 June 1944 with the Normandy Landings (commonly known as D-Day) when an airborne assault preceded an amphibious assault. Nearly 160,000 troops crossed the English Channel on 6 June, and more than 3 million troops had landed by the end of August. Allied land forces that saw combat in Normandy on D-Day itself came from Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States of America. Free French forces and Poland also participated in the battle after the assault phase, and there were also contingents from Belgium, Czechoslovakia, Greece, the Netherlands, and Norway. Other Allied nations participated in the naval and air forces. Once the beachheads were secured, a three-week military buildup occurred on the beaches before Operation Cobra, the operation to break out from the Normandy beachhead began. The battle for Normandy continued for more than two months, with campaigns to establish a foothold on France, and concluded with the close of the Falaise pocket, the subsequent liberation of Paris on 25 August 1944, and the German retreat across the Seine which was completed on 30 August 1944.
- Overlord - kryptonim strategicznej operacji sił morskich i powietrznych aliantów początkowej fazy kampanii zachodnioeuropejskiej, trwającej od 6 czerwca do końca sierpnia 1944. Była to największa operacja morsko-desantowa w dziejach świata. Celem było przełamanie Wału Atlantyckiego, za którym na żołnierzy sprzymierzonych czekało 60 dywizji feldmarszałka Rundstedta. Połowa z nich, pod wodzą feldmarszałka Rommla, skoncentrowana była na wybrzeżu - od Holandii do Normandii. Często nazwa Overlord jest utożsamiana z lądowaniem wojsk sprzymierzonych na plażach Francji - jest to nieścisłe, gdyż w ramach lądowania sprzymierzonych realizowano kilka operacji wojennych. Np. sama operacja desantowa miała kryptonim Neptun.
