Today marks the 75th anniversary of the Allied forces landing on the shores of French Normandy during the Second World War, one of the reasons for the collapse of the German forces. It was one year before the defeat of the Germans and the platform for the liberation of France from the German occupation.

The invasion of Normandy was a series of battles between Nazi Germany and the Allied forces in 1944 as part of a major conflict during the Second World War. The importance of this battle was the Allied forces' descent into Europe and the direct transfer of the battle against the Germans. Normandy was the most important landing in the history of war.

According to the book "The Dictionary of Historical Battles" written by Najat Salim Mahasis, the Normandy Exiles are the first Allied operations, also known as Operation Neptune, which is also part of Operation Over Lord, during World War II, June 6, 1944. The operation was the largest operation ever launched in one day, with the landing of about 160 thousand fighters, with the participation of 195,700 naval and trade navigators from the allies on more than 5,000 ships, and the landings were 50 miles / 80.4 km, on the Normandy Coastal, divided into five sectors: Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Soo D.

According to the book "The Generals of Hitler" by Essam Fouad, the consequences of the fall of the Allied forces on the shores of the French "Normandy" on June 6 that took place, neither Randstad's experience, nor Rommel's experience, nor even the intuition and expectations of Hitler, Germany is good.

This is because the three expectations of all of them were focused on another site, stronger and more dangerous, the decline north of the Seine in the sector of "Bad Calais" in northern France, which represents the shortest and easiest way to the heart of German territory, The allies continued to cheat, and the continued misjudgment that lasted until July made decisions, and perhaps more than the Allied air forces, prevented the reinforcements from reaching the front in Normandy from other sectors.

Within three weeks, the Allies had been able to reinforce and reinforce a bridgehead "in which the troops would assemble to carry out their missions" as it expanded westward across the Continent Peninsula and eastward toward the city of Caun.

"The Atlas of World Wars: Land, War, and Peace" explains that the Battle of Normandy achieved the expectations of Hitler, which he sought so much to avoid, namely, the war on both eastern and western fronts. Although Allied forces on European soil had been expected for some time, The first takeoffs surprised the Germans in terms of timing and location.
