    June 6th of 1944, better known as D-Day, was not the first time the Allies had planned a major large scale invasion against Nazi Germany. The British were considering the possibility of a major Allied invasion across the English Channel in 1942 as well as later on in 1943. However, none of these operations were ever carried out, specifically due to the fact that the Germans were almost always aware of the Allies’ plans. This was not the case during D-Day, though, because the Germans did not know exactly where the Allies would strike. As a result, Adolf Hitler ordered Erwin Rommel to finish the Atlantic Wall, a 2,400-mile fortification of bunkers, landmines, and beach/water obstacles (Levine 43).…

Some intended a fast push inland at Anzio that moved toward becoming impeded in driving downpours. In this way, where the mountains receded, there were as yet sloppy moving hills, overflowed streams, and washed-out roads to hamper the Allied progress and help the German defenders. Additionally, Allies propels in Italy were moderate and hampered by overwhelming autumn downpours. It was difficult to battle because of the ground conditions.…

    The Allies did not possess the means, nor the will to attempt a rescue of European Jews prior to 1943. They were losing the war on all fronts, and military intervention in Eastern Poland or the Soviet Union was simply unfeasible. The Allies regained the means to intervene by late-1943, but the will remained absent. To allocate valuable resources, such as bombers or paratroopers to conduct raids and rescue attempts, would distract from the overarching goal of victory as the Allies begun the final push into fortress Europe. Moreover, by the time the Allies were certain of the Holocaust in 1944, most of those who would perish in the genocide were already gone.…

    During the battle, both sides, German and Russian, concentrated their airpower on the battlefront, thus creating bloody stalemate, and repeating the mistakes of the First World War.9 Analyzing this battle it becomes evident how both sides used their airpower to support front lines.
