Question

What does the D in D-Day stand for

Answer 1

Answer: the letter is a placeholder and doesn’t stand for anything, despite claims that it stands for “deliverance” or “doom.” Meanwhile, H-Hour referred to the time the fighting began. For instance, D+1 meant the day after D-Day, while H-2 meant two hours before the action.

Answer 2

it does not stand for anything. The 'D' is derived from the word 'day'. 'D-Day' means the day on which a military operation begins. The term 'D-Day' is still used for military operations, but to the general public it is generally used to refer to the Allied landings in Normandy on 6 June 1944.
