Position:Home>History> What are three ways that D-day turned WW2 into the allies favor? (easy 10 points

1- Surprise!. The German's were expecting an invasion at the Pas de Calais!. Not where the allies struck!.

2- Well, it was successful!. The allies weren't turned back, and were able to advance into the "front" further and further!.

3- It obviously was the first real defeat of the German army!. While they were bombing the hell out of Britain at the time, they hadn't launched a true land invasion there, and were continuing to make progress into Russia at the time as well!. So, It stood to put them on the defensive for the first time, rather than just the offensive!.

Hope this helps!. Good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I would argue that by D-Day WW2 was already in the Allies' favor!. Axis forces had been kicked out of Africa!. In Italy, Allied forces had captured Rome and Mussolini had been overthrown by pro-Allied partisans, freed and re-established in North Italy by German forces!. On the Eastern front, following Stalingrad, the Germans were in full retreat and only held onto small areas of the Soviet Union by the time Allies landed on the beaches of Normandy!. Russian armies had started their push west, invading Romania!. In the Atlantic, the Allies built their carrier escort and destroyer fleet to sufficient numbers to largely end the threat of German submarine warfare!. The main German Navy had remained in port following the sinking of the Bismarck shortly after the war began!.

Even though the war was clearly in the Allies favor by D-Day, it does not mean that the landings were unimportant!. There remained about a year's worth of fighting, both on the Western and Eastern fronts, before Germany finally collapsed!.

D-Day:

1) established the Western front against Germany!. This forced a badly stretched German Army, which also had to maintain large forces in Yugoslavia against the Partisans and Norway to guard against an invasion there, to divert divisions from the Eastern Front to the Western Front, taking pressure off Russian forces!.

2) put the United States and Britain into a position where they threatened Germany directly!. Although the Italian campaign went well early, fighting had bogged down in the Italian Alps and resembled World War I trench fighting!. As much as Stalin wanted a second front to take pressure off his troops, U!.S!. and British political leaders were concerned about the possibility of Russian troops reaching Germany without the presence of American/English troops in Central Europe!.

3) There was the general uplift in morale now that the final push was on!. The outcome of the war had been decided by the time Allied forces landed on French beaches!. The landings, though, signaled that the end of the war was sooner rather than later!.

To the history teacher (Mrs!. GIlberto Burton), I hope you were doing this as a lark and not giving a real answer!.!.!.

To answer the question on D-day the allies had three things swing their way;

1!. They found the concentration camps and began to use them on the enemies!.

The concentration camps were not in France!. The first armies to come upon the concentration camps were Soviet!. It wasn't until American/British forces crossed into Germany that they found concentration camps!.

2!. They found the atom bomb and were then able to use it in Hiroshima, Germany and Nagasaki, Russia

Hiroshima and Nagasaki are, of course, in Japan and Russia was our ally or co-belligerent!. And, the Manhatten Project existed before D-Day!.

3!. They were finally able to find Hitler (he was hiding in a secret underground passage) and sentence him to death

Hitler committed suicide in Berlin as Soviet armies closed in on the German capital!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The days following D Day had several effects!.

1!. It established a beach head to unload soldiers and their equipment!.
2!. Hilter thought the D Day invasion was a distration to a true invasion, thus holding his reserve forces even more
3!. It eleviated the fighting from the Russians, who had wanted the U!.S!., British, and Canadian to enter France since '43!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

In view of the fact that after Stalingrad, the end was no longer in doubt, all the D-Day landings did was accelerate the end for Germany and prevented the Iron Curtain from reaching the Atlantic Coast!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Finally got a foot on northern France, and Germans started to retreat!.
Finally Great Britain/London wouldn't be constantly bombed!.
German morale drove down when they saw were not invincible and USA came in too help allies!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It created a beachhead enabling troops and equipment to be landed on a huge scale!. This in turn allowed the allies to start pushing the German army back!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The war was already over before D-Day!. Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin were arguing about how to split up Europe well before D-Day happened!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
