Actually, interestingly enough, the D in D-Stay stands for nothing but day. D-Day is actually a code word for Operation Overlord (Which was a battle on June 6, 1944)

So yeah, people might make D-Day sound like Dunkirk or Dooms but in reality, the D in D-Day means Day

What does D in D-Day stand for you ask?

Well, the D purely stands for day.

Why? Because the nomination was used for the day of any occupation or military op.

Tip- (Day was a codename for Op. Overlord)
