The invasion of Normandy was known as Operation Overlord (Luce 55). The invasion of Normandy demanded an extremely large fleet and amount of army and the Allied powers had to combine military forces to gather up enough troops to complete the extremely dangerous mission (Luce 55). The invasion of Normandy took place on June 6, 1944 due to bad weather on the 5th although that was the intended date of attack (Luce 55). The weather changed right before the attack that caused a delay that forced the day to be pressed back to June 6th 1944 (Luce 55). During the attack on June 6, 1944, more than 160,000 Allied troops landed along a 50-mile stretch of heavily-fortified French coastline (army.mil). This was the invasion part of the battle of Normandy to fight Nazi Germany on the beaches of Normandy, France (army.mil). The forces that were invading on the shores of Normandy were supported by more than 5,000 Ships and 13,000 aircraft
