Supremo for D-Day operation? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

overlord

I believe this is a double definition.

'supremo' is the first definition.

'd-day operation?' is the second definition.
(D-Day was codenamed Operation Overlord)

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for overlord that I've seen before include "Ruler, D-day Operation" , "top man!" , "Feudal ruler" , "Wartime operation" , "Supreme ruler" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
