Attack on Germany  Starting in British began dropping bombs on German cities. Saturation Bombing  Strategic bombing- trying to destroy industrial and political centers to avoid war making power.  Helped pave the way for an Allied offensive.

 D-Day, the Decision Day  Largest military invasion in world history to defeat Hitler.  The 5000-vessel armada stretched as far as the eye could see, transporting over 150,000 men and nearly 30,000 vehicles across the channel to storm the French beaches.  Six parachute regiments -- over 13,000 men -- were flown from nine British airfields in over 800 planes.  More than 300 planes dropped 13,000 bombs over coastal Normandy immediately in advance of the invasion.  War planners had projected that 5,000 tons of gasoline would be needed daily for the first 20 days after the initial assault.  By nightfall on June 6, more than 9,000 Allied soldiers were dead or wounded, but more than 100,000 had made it ashore, securing French coastal villages.

 To get through the barbed war, soldiers had to blast through with 10’ pipes filled with TNT.  Two portable harbors were built and transported across the English channel and setup on 1 of the British beaches and 1 with the Americans.  To get fuel from England to France, an underwater pipeline was laid which connected with the portable harbors to get fuel to the front..  To fool the Germans to believing the invasion was at Calais, the Allies dropped dummy parachute soldiers…..  June 6, 1944

Battle of the Bulge  Hitler caught Allies by surprise and created a bulge in their front line and captured several key towns.  After about a month of fighting on December 23, 1944 the Allies pushed Germany out of France.  Battle hurt Hitler because he had to use reserve troops and it hurt his men. It shortened the time Germany had left.
