D-Day or the Battle of Normandy was a war that included Nazi Germany and the Allied Powers. "The US landed on the French Coast to fight Nazi Germany in Normandy, France" (D-Day, army.mil). The battle of Normandy was the turning point in the war. According to generalpatton.org, World War II and D-Day, "The invasion of Normandy was also a means of countering Russia’s growing Communist influence in Europe. It was clear that Germany was going to be defeated at some future point. America and Britain were very concerned about what the Russians would do. The Russians might make a separate peace with Germany. This would leave Britain and America to fight on alone. Or Russia might successfully conquer Germany and control most of Europe.
D-Day stopped this from happening. Operation Overlord put Russia’s fears to rest by opening a second front and eventually aided the Allies in stopping the spreading communist threat in Europe." This made Russia keep going and stay in the fight with America and Great Britain. The battle was also fought in a strategically more important regions and Germans were forced into slow retreat in Europe. According to NationWW2Museum.org, Germany eventually surrendered on May 8, 1945 giving the Allies this victory.
