How did D Day influence history?

Answer 1

The attack on Normandy Beach and all the other beaches affected the outcome, because Normandy was another way to get in to Europe and the allies needed another way in. After D-Day Germany had to take troops from the Eastern and send them to the West and although the soviets probably would have won it would have lasted a lot longer 3-5 years even.

Answer 2

It was a tactical win. It was a strategic win. It was certainly the greatest propoganda win of WWII on the Allied side in the European War. It had demonstrated a war commitment that was long overdue. The battle on the Eastern Front had already claimed millions of lives both military and civilian. The Mediterranian and African campaigns had been important, but they failed to get the media attention. D-Day got the west "big bang for the buck", the losses at Omaha were overplayed compared to achievements at Juno. Wars are won on many fronts, the destruction of the enemies infrastructure, the destruction of the enemy's will to fight and finally the destruction of the enemy. Historians in the far distant future may modify D-Day to a position as a minor footnote.

Answer 3

It prevented the Soviet Union (Russia) from taking over most of Europe; the Russians (Soviets) were driving into Germany from the East, while the Western Allies were driving in from the West. Had the Western Allies not been there, the Russians would have taken it all.

Answer 4
