It gave Allies forced entry into France.  It began on June 6, 1944 and were American,
British and Canadian troops landed on the beaches of Normandy while some of the
soldiers entered France by parachuting behind enemy lines.  They landed on Normandy beach which they
divided into five sectors:  Utaha, Omaha,
Juno, Gold and Sword beach.  The allies
landed under heavy fire and many were killed as they did their make on the
beach.  Omaha beach had the most
casualties while Juno, Sword and Gold were able to clear the Germans out of the
nearby towns. Gold beach also destroyed two important gun displacements using
specialized tanks.  Some objectives were
not accomplished on the first day as the Germans still hold Carentan,St. Lo, and Bayeux until July 21 and all five beachheads were not able to unite.
Causalities  of the Allies were 10,000
and 4,414 were killed while the Germans lost 100 men.

Correct answer:  It gave the Allied forces entry into France.

Further detail:

The Germans knew that the Allies were planning an advance into France to try to retake the Western front in World War II.  The Allies used various forms of deception under "Operation Fortitude" to get the Germans to think they were getting ready to invade in the Pas-de-Calais region in northern France, keeping their actual plans to invade at the beaches of Normandy (in northwest France) a top secret.  Troops landed at five sites along the Normandy beaches in the famous "D-Day" invasion of 1944.
