While many attribute the assault on Normandy beach, known to many as “D-Day,” despite the actual meaning of the term, had Germany held Normandy beach they still would have fallen. The Italian front had already been opened, and “Millions of enemy soldiers had been killed, wounded, or taken prisoner by the Red Army before D-Day.”1 The Nazi armies were weakened from various assaults into the USSR, and only a fraction of the allies forces would have been lost. The only effect would be that the war…
