D-Day June 6th, 1944. D-Day was critical to
the victory of the Allied Powers over the
Axis Powers. This beach landing on the
north coast of France, in Normandy, broke
through Hitler’s Atlantic Wall, and meant
the beginning of the end of Germany’s
control over Europe in WW2. The war
would end in Europe less than one year
later, in May 1945.
The Battle of the Bulge. Dec 1944 to Jan 1945.
Taking place in the Ardennes Forest, this
secret German attack was meant to split the
Allied Forces, capture Antwerp and destroy
several US Armies, resulting in a negotiated
end to the war. Allied forces suffered 19,000
casualties. It failed and spelled the end of Nazi
Germany by May 1945.
Victory in Europe Day , May 8th, 1945. Known
as V-E Day, this day marked the final victory of
Nazi Germany in Europe. Germany
unconditionally surrendered to Allied Forces in
Europe after the suicide of Adolf Hitler. The US
would still have to defeat Japan, however, and
fighting in Asia would continue until August
1945.
