3. Role The beginning of D-Day began on June 6, 1994. D-Day was the turning point of World War II. 160,000 allies landed on a 60 mile stretch across the French Coast line to fight the Nazi Germany on the beaches of Normandy. More than 5,000 ships and 13,000 aircrafts helped supported the D-Day Invasion. At the end of the D-Day fight more than 9,000 allied soldiers were killed and wounded but more than 100,000 soldiers marched to help try to defeat Hitler. German Solider posses for a picture

4. Impact The main significance of D-day is that it opened up the second front on the mainland of Europe. Hitler needed to face actual combat on either side of him, where prior to D-day the troops in France were watching and waiting. To have an operation as large as the attack was it was hard remain a complete secret from the Germans. Some of the leaders of the German military were so completely surprised that they refused to believe that the landing at Normandy was even the main invasion. The allies had planned that the main invasion would be at Pas- de-Calais, the closest point of France to England. The plan took, and German intelligence was completely fooled.

5. Portrayed in A Positive Or Negative Way To me the war was a good thing because it was the beginning of the end of Hitler and we gained more control after the war. Also because we won the battle and took Normandy France from the German.

6. Portrayed During The Time People during that time saw D-Day as a good thing that has happened. They think this because it showing that the Allied had victory. They thought that if we would have failed to win the war in Normandy then Hitler would have continued to rule Western Europe.
