Comment Re:No relation to d-day (Score 1) 2574

No, D most definitely stands for day in relation to D-Day. There was in fact only one canceled invasion of Normandy and that occurred on June 5, 1945. The original invasion date was scheduled for May but it was pushed back well before the attack was to begin.

Every military operation begins on D-Day and H-Hour. The first reference to D-Day was in World War 1. Since then, the military has used it to siginify the beginning of an operation. There have been many D-Day's besides the one usuaully referred to.
