Allies of World War II

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.

Allied victory may be viewed as certainty now, but during the war, it was not. Overy explains, even as people have been taught since World War II was over that the Allies were going to win anyway, the Allies were not always the frontrunner in the war. Up until 1942, the Allies were forced to plan for alternate…
