Detailed explanation-1: -The Allies used over 5, 000 ships and landing craft to land more than 150, 000 troops on five beaches in Normandy. The landings marked the start of a long and costly campaign in north-west Europe, which ultimately convinced the German high command that defeat was inevitable.
Detailed explanation-2: -Germany had to fight a war on two fronts. It wanted to defeat France, Russia’s ally, quickly, so that it could concentrate on the more powerful enemy in the east. The border between France and Germany was heavily fortified. Germany tried to invade France through Belgium in the north.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Allies’ Italian Campaign began with the invasion of Sicily in July 1943. After 38 days of fighting, the U.S. and Great Britain successfully drove German and Italian troops from Sicily and prepared to assault the Italian mainland.
Detailed explanation-4: -they were not prepared to fight a 2 front war. How did the D-Day invasion and the the allied invasion of France affect Germany’s strategy during WW2? Germany’s defeat and the end of the war came sooner than expected and at a lower cost.
