It wasn't a US invasion by the way. It was a United Nations invasion.

The UN wasn't formed then. More than a year after D-day.

There is a subtle difference between "United Nations" as used by
William Wright and "UN" as used by yourself.

Surely you would accept what is written on the UN web site?

Nevertheless its incorrect to call the D-day landings a "United Nations"
invasion.

D-day was not planned and authorised by the 26 signatories of the
embryonic United Nations, rather it was a US-lead action that involved
only a few other nations, in particular, of course, the UK.


Not US led. The CiC of the invasion force was British


So it was an "allied powers" invasion, not a "United Nations" one.
