June 6, 1944 is associated with which major Allied operation?

• A. Operation Overlord
• B. Operation Doomsday
• C. Battle of Midway
• D. Pearl Harbor

Answer: (A)

June 6, 1944 marks the start of Operation Overlord, the Allied invasion of Normandy. This was the largest amphibious assault in history and opened the Western Front in World War II, bringing together naval, air, and ground forces to land on five beaches—Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword—and establish a foothold in France. The operation required meticulous planning and deception to mislead German defenders about where and when the invasion would occur, a key element in achieving a successful landing. Securing a beachhead in Normandy allowed the Allies to break out into France, liberate occupied territory, and ultimately push toward Germany, contributing decisively to the defeat of Nazi forces. The other events listed occurred in different contexts: the Battle of Midway happened in the Pacific in 1942, Pearl Harbor was the 1941 Japanese attack on the United States, and "Doomsday" does not refer to a real major Allied operation in World War II.
