General Timeline

Impacts and Effects on WWII and Europe D-Day was the beginning of the end for not only the Germans but Hitler most of all. D-Day forced the Germans to fight a two front war again just as they had in WWI. Yet again the Germans could not handle war on both sides of them. “By the end of June 1944, about a million Allied troops had reached France.” - "World War II." World Encyclopedia 2004. Reinforcements for the infantry of D-Day had come in. On June 26th, 1944 the Allies captured the French port of Cherbourg. After that day, the Germans began to retreat. On August 25th, 1944 came the day that the French had been waiting for, Paris had been liberated. One of the main impact this war had on WWII is it made the German retreat and eventually fail this war.
