	D-Day - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In military parlance, D-Day (the "D" stands for "decision") is a term often used to denote the day on which a combat attack or operation is to be initiated.
		The terms D-day and H-hour are used for the day and hour on which a combat attack or operation is to be initiated.
		They designate the day and hour of the operation when the day and hour have not yet been determined, or where secrecy is essential.

	D Day 60 th anniversery
		Today is the 60th Anniversary of the D Day landings, an event in World War 2 which was a massive defeat for Germany; though events like the Fall of Stalingrad saw the Russians contribute or sacrifice a lot.
		For every man leaving for D Day, there was a woman who would have likely willingly sacrificed her own life if it were possible to save him.
		The number of women who saw service as nurses at D Day is forgotten by most - but in wars there are always an army of nurses there to patch up the wounds men cause to each other.

		Another feature was the development and role of the French Resistance as it gathered momentum during the Occupation and then came to play an important role both before and during the D Day landings.
		The Allied landings on the beaches of Normandy were followed by almost three months of intense combat throughout the region, before the Germans were finally trapped and routed at Mount Ormel in what became known as the Battle of the Falaise Pocket.
		The landing beaches themselves are an obvious starting point, but from there it is possible to follow the development of the battle as it spread out over Normandy, with attack and counter attack.
