On June 6, 1944, the largest amphibious invasion in military history began to target the France's Normandy coast. The 100 days that follow would see the end of Nazi dominance in Western Europe as the allies swept through the country liberating towns and cities as they went, including Paris on August 25. Although the gains were striking, not all within Allied command agreed on the best strategy to win the war.
