D Day...

...6th June, right? Everybody knows that. Well, maybe, maybe not. D Day was the code name for the day scheduled for Operation Overlord (the landings in France) to start, and this was meant to be June 5th 1944. This was the date everybody was working towards. In the event, bad weather meant the landings had to be postponed for 24 hours. So the actual invasion started on June 6th, but it can be argued that D Day was always June 5th.
