The Battle of Normandy, often referred to as D-Day and codenamed "Operation Overlord," has been described by historians as a major turning point for the Allied forces in World War II.The 150,000 Allied troops, made up of American, British and Canadian forces, landed on the beaches of Nazi-occupied France and were then able to push inland to Western Europe.The bravery displayed by these troops has been depicted in many books and films, including "Saving Private Ryan" and the book-turned-HBO miniseries "Band of Brothers."Hitler's army had invaded France and was aiming to take over all of Europe.

The Allies knew that a successful invasion of mainland Europe was key to winning the war.In January 1944, General Dwight D. Eisenhower was appointed Allied supreme commander for Operation Overlord.Many locations were considered in the planning stages of the invasion.

According to the National D-Day Memorial Foundation, Normandy was ultimately chosen with one reason being its many weak sections along the Atlantic Wall, a series of concrete fortifications that Hitler ordered to be built along the coast.In the months leading up to D-Day, the Allies set up decoy operations to confuse the Germans, according to the foundation.

Highland Park shooting: Police to provide update after 7th victim dies in parade shooting

HIGHLAND PARK, Ill. - A seventh victim has died after a gunman fired more than 70 rounds with an AR-15-style gun at an Independence Day parade in Highland Park Monday.Over 30 people were injured in the attack, which was thought to have been planned by the alleged gunman, Robert Crimo III, for several weeks.The shooting occurred at a spot on the parade route where many residents had staked out prime viewing points early in the day for the annual celebration. Dozens of fired bullets sent hundreds of parade-goers — some visibly bloodied — fleeing. Investigators who have interrogated the suspect and reviewed his social media posts have not determined a motive for the attack or found any indication that he targeted anyone by race, religion or other protected status, Lake County Major Crime Task Force spokesman Christopher Covelli said.The suspect was also allegedly disguised as a woman at the time of the shooting."Investigators do believe he did this to conceal his facial tattoos and his identity and help him during the escape with the other people who were fleeing the chaos," said Covelli.After the shooting, the suspect blended in with the crowd and walked to his mother's home in the area where he borrowed her vehicle, Covelli said.
