La batalla de Normandía en 1944, denominada en clave Operación Overlord, fue la invasión de Europa llevada a cabo por los Aliados en el noroeste de Francia, entonces ocupada por la Alemania nazi. El desembarco, denominado en clave Operación Neptuno1 como parte de la Operación Overlord, fue ejecutado por las fuerzas aliadas en la II Guerra Mundial. El esfuerzo aliado se concentró en desembarcar en Europa un ejército que, después de liberar Francia, llegara hasta el mismo corazón del Tercer Reich. Los preparativos de la operación Overlord se iniciaron en Gran Bretaña. En 1943 el principal escenario de operaciones aliadas estaba en Italia, así que la proyectada invasión tuvo que posponerse otro año más, a pesar de las reiteradas protestas de Stalin, que abogaba por la apertura de un «segundo frente» en Europa que comprometiese a más tropas alemanas en el oeste y aliviase la situación de la Unión Soviética. En 1944 la Wehrmacht tenía diseminadas sus fuerzas en una gran guerra de varios frentes; se había perdido África ante los Aliados, que luego habían saltado a Sicilia y de allí al resto de Italia, donde se libraban fuertes combates. En el frente del este la situación era desesperada ante el irresistible empuje del Ejército Rojo, que ya estaba llegando a Polonia. La Operación Overlord involucraba al grueso de los ejércitos estadounidense e imperial británico, apoyados por tropas auxiliares francesas, polacas y de otras nacionalidades, para asaltar las playas de Normandía por medio de desembarcos anfibios. Originalmente, la misión iba a comenzar el 5 de junio pero debido a inclemencias meteorológicas se trasladó al día siguiente. En la madrugada del 6 de junio diez divisiones estadounidenses, británicas y canadienses tomaron tierra entre el río Orne y el Vire. Aunque no se lograron todos los objetivos previstos y se conquistó muchísimo menos terreno que el esperado, se instalaron sólidas cabezas de playa en las que, a lo largo de los siguientes días, desembarcaron 250 000 hombres y 50 000 vehículos. Se desarrolló desde el 6 de junio (Día D) hasta el 25 de agosto (Liberación de París). A pesar del tiempo transcurrido, el desembarco de Normandía continúa siendo la mayor operación de invasión por mar de la historia, ya que casi tres millones de soldados cruzaron el canal de la Mancha desde Gran Bretaña a la región de Normandía, en la Francia ocupada.
