How did the campaigns in north Africa Sicily the Atlantic and in the air help the allies prepare to defeat Italy and Germany?

Answer 1

The Allied Forces learned the fighting strategies of the Germans. They learned their value system and other military secrets from the Germans who had been captured. They learned they needed to in BIG, HARD AND FAST to defeat the Germans. They learned they could not lose momentum. They learned to overcome mistakes, disasters (like the gale storm that hit their man made harbor or to make tank attachments to overcome the hedges in France). They learned they had to cooperate, plan, and not go too soon before they had all they needed to make the invasion work. They learn that if things went wrong there is a way to fix the problem with a lot of brains and brawn. Those campaigns taught them a lot. My most favorite lesson they learned was to use good intelligence (spying), use deception, make the deception work well both ways and to use the underground resistance network. They also realized the Germans are hard to fight but they are not IMPOSSIBLE to fight and defeat. They took that lesson and spread the knowledge throughout the forces.
