what does d-day stand for in wwii
Today is the 70th anniversary of D-Day, when Allied troops stormed the beaches at Normandy. It was a turning point of WWII, and not a day the world will soon forget. On the anniversary, a lot of people might wondering what the âDâ in âD-Dayâ stands for, so we looked into it. According to the National WWII Museum, June 6th, 1944 wasnât the only âD-Day.â The term was used for any important operation. âD-Dayâ was the day of the operation itself, and the days leading up to and after the operation were indicated with â+â and â-â. So the âDâ is essentially a variable.
