At the beginning of World War 2, Germany invaded Poland, making France, Great Britain and Canada declare war on them. By spring 1940,Germany were ready to invade France, but France were also ready, with the British military as well as their own army. Within 6 weeks, the Germans defeated the allies and seized control of France. By 1944, Germany knew that the British, along with the Americans, were planning to invade to bring France back into the power of the Europeans. The Allies, mostly the British, decided to begin the invading by planting a huge army in a place called Normandy. Named 'operation overlord', the raid was commanded by American General Dwight D. Eisenhower. The Allies landed on June 6th 1944. Many people recognize this as D-Day. This is a map of Normandy. For more infomation go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normandy
