D-Day Explained: How the Allies Invaded Normandy on June 6, 1944 | WW2 Animation

How did the Allies break through Nazi Germany’s defenses on D-Day, June 6, 1944? In this animated World War II documentary, follow Operation Overlord and the Normandy landings through detailed battle maps, airborne missions, naval movements, and the struggle to establish a foothold in occupied France. From the invasion fleet crossing the English Channel to American paratroopers landing behind enemy lines, we explore the planning, deception, and difficult decisions behind D-Day. Watch the landings at all five beaches—Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword—and discover why Omaha Beach became one of the deadliest challenges of the invasion. We also cover Pointe du Hoc, British and Canadian advances, German coastal defenses, and the race to move Allied troops inland before a counterattack could push them back. D-Day was not the end of the war. It was the opening of a new front in Western Europe—and the beginning of the long battle to liberate France. Which historical battle should we animate next?
