Question: Was d-day important because it opened up a 2 front war on Germany!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Yes, that was it's primary purpose!. The second front was important for both military and political reasons!. It put pressure on the Germans to fight a spread out war!. And it made the Russians feel better about their allies!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Usually people say that the 2nd front was opened in June of 1941 when Hitler opened the easter front by attacking Russia!. But in some sense the Western front as pretty calm since June of 1940 when France surrendered!.
D-Day (6 June 1944) re-opened the Western front to increased warfare!.
D-Day is not remembered by the Russians very kindly !. The Soviet Union union went through unbelievable losses in the three years between 1941 and 1944!. They believed that America and Britain delayed the invasion until it was clear that Germany would lose the war!.
In the near two-and-a-half year siege of Leningrad (now St!. Petersburg) by the German forces, 1 1/2 million Russians alone died from shelling, bombing, disease and starvation, a figure that exceeded all the military casualties of the U!.S!.A!.and British Commonwealth combined!.
There is a lot of credibility to the theory that if Germany had not attacked Russia, and the Japanese had not bombed Pearl Harbor, Hitler would never have been removed from power!. He might have remained in head of state until the 1970's like his contemporary Francisco Franco of Spain!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

the 2 front war began long before D-day!. it actually began dec!. 8 1941, a day after pearl harbor when hitler declared war on the US!.

the germans invaded the soviet union june 22, 1941 (not 1942)!. It was called Operation Barbarossa, and it was the german military's largest operation of WW2!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Italy in 1943 was the second front in Europe but the frontline was static there due to the nature of the terrain
D-Day was important because it opened up the possibility of the liberation of France which was the key to defeating Hitler in the westWww@QuestionHome@Com

In a way!. D-Day was significant because it put pressure on Germany's Western border, but Germany's true struggles began when they attacked the Soviet Union in 1941 and when Italy was invaded and Mussolini was overthrown bringing pressure on Germany's southern front!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The 2nd front began with the invasions of Africa and Italy!. The invasion of France was the realization of a promise made to Stalin to help relieve pressure from the eastern front!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
