Operation Overlord was the collective military efforts of allied forces in World War 2 to gain a foothold in Northern France. By winning the Battle of Normandy, the Allies intended to successfully exploit this gap in Germany's Atlantic Wall and liberate the remainder of German-occupied Western Europe. The 6 June 1944 D-Day assault began with nighttime drops of airborne personnel behind enemy lines and the subsequent morning multinational beach landings via its naval component, Operation Neptune. Over the next three months, Allied forces pushed deep into occupied Normandy and other parts of Northern France. At the end of August 1944, Overlord successfully achieved its objectives with the Liberation of Paris in just six days, on 25 August 1944 and the retreat of the German Army over the Seine river on 29 August 1944. In tribute to the men and women who served on the 80th anniversary of this pivotal military operation, a movie poll about the films that depict Operation Overlord and related events.
