H-Hour (redundant acronym of hour) was the name given to the airborne assault during the Normandy landings of World War II. H-Hour occurred at 6:30 AM local time on June 6, 1944. The units involved included the U.S. 101st Airborne Division and U.S. 82nd Airborne Division, along with the British 6th Airborne Division. This took place about three hours before the main beach landings on the Normandy coast. The airborne invasion consisted of over 20,000 men and around 1,200 planes and gliders. The combined assault of the three Allied airborne divisions would surprise the German defenders and cause enough havoc behind the German lines, enabling the beach landings to go more smoothly.
