d-day (invasion of normandy)
Time only made Hitler more powerful and expanded the Nazi empire. Hitler was trying to conquer all of Europe and by 1944 he had control of most of it. Hitler was even able to conquer two thirds of France by this time. The allies tried to fight back. However, in order to win the war they needed successful attack on the Germans. The United States started to send massive numbers of both troops and equipment to Britain. Furthermore, Britain and the US increased the number of bombs that were being dropped on Germany, as an attempt to reduce Germany’s strength. However, the Germans were aware that the allies were planning an attack, but they didn’t know where they would invade. The allies made it seem that they were going to attack north of Normandy, but instead they actually invaded south Normandy. On June 6, 1944 the Allies (Britain, America, Canada, and Free France) planned an attack on Germany that changed the course of the war, this event was called D-Day or the Invasion of Normandy. The attack was divided into several waves. The first were paratroopers, who are soldiers that drop from airplanes with parachutes. The next waves came with planes that dropped thousands of bombs. The third, were warships that bombed the beaches of Normandy. Meanwhile, the French resistance cut of German communication. Finally, the main invasion began. With over 6,000 ships and 150,000 soldiers the allies took over the coast of Normandy, France which was under German control.
