It's been disproven countless of times by credible scholars. Not sure why we, as Americans, continue to perpetuate that myth. Then again, we are largely a populace who lies to their children about a bearded, benevolent gift bringer. But while most adults don't believe in Kris Kringle, they have continually trusted the lie of "D-Day" for 70+ years, and they show no signs of stopping despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
England and Canada (Sword, Gold and Ellen Page) have largely come to grips with the idea that the allied invasion was total bupkis, why can't we!? -

If and when I try to wind any of you toys up, you'd know it. I'm sorry you were lied to by the American school curriculum (I bet you think the Civil War was fought entirely to free slaves, right?), but don't take it out on me. The fact remains that the invasion of Normandy never happened. And no, I am not saying WW2 never happened. Just saying the allied assault began entirely differently. Why not do some research on google? Give a look at the writings of Gavin Long and Charles B. McDonald on the subject.

The burden of proof doesn't really fall on me, considering it is widely accepted throughout the world (the U.S. being the only exception), but I already listed two historians, who are authorities on the subject, you can check out. And they are just the chip of the iceberg.

The burden of proof is on you. You started the topic. State your evidence. Oh yeah! There is no evidence.
Tell that to every other Western country. I'm not going to provide you with evidence to something that is widely accepted. The whole point of the thread is for you to do your own research yourself. I have already provided several historians who are authorities on the subject. -

Well, I think skipvonlang is correct, the burden of proof is on you. It's way too easy to claim that "it is widely accepted" without any backup evidence. Never mind proof, I'd just settle for some evidence at this stage.
Lt's clear one thing up, are you referring to Operation Overlord or Operation Fortitude?
I have googled the people you mentioned (Ellen Page, Gavin Long, Charles B McDonald) but can't find anything anywhere connecting them with writings about a supposed D-Day conspiracy theory. I can't find anything anywhere by anyone claiming that the D-day landings didn't happen.
It's time for you to be a little more specific. Try giving us a link or two so we can actually see something concrete.
When I said I wanted to be a comedian, they all laughed at me. Well, they're not laughing now! -

Of course you're trolling, but is D-Day denial actually a thing?
I've been to Normandy and seen the coastal defences, Omaha beach and so on. What would you suggest the remains of the Mulberry harbour in Arromanches are? An ambitious sea-based art project? -

Who said D-DAY wasn't a thing? It happened. Just not the way you Americans thinks.

Cover job. If you are actually willing to read up on it (hard to say, considering your post starts with a ad hominem) read up on Gavin Long, Charles B MacDonald and Jeffrey Grey. These are the leading historians on the subject. Pack a lunch because it is a difficult read. Will challenge everything you know. But it's only esoteric in the states, for some reason. Most of the Western world has come to the truth. So it can't be that difficult. -

Oh, I'm willing to read anything. It was a genuine question, I couldn't tell if you were serious or not.
I'm not American, btw, hence my surprise at you saying most of the western world has come to accept the truth. I've never even heard it mentioned.
