How many people suvived d day?

At the start of D-Day their was 166,000 soldiers and 155,000 were Allied, and 10,000 were Germans. At the end, the allies lost 12,000 men whilst the Germans lost around 7,500 men. So 166,000 - 19,500 = 146,500 men survived D-Day and 2,500 of them were Germans.


What was the turning point of d-day?

I'm not sure of you mean the actual turning point of D-Day itself, or how it was a turning point for the war, so I will briefly answer both. Turning point on D-Day: All things considered, there really were no major turning points during the day, as the entire invasion was a success. The Initial invasion by the allied paratroopers allowed key roads and bridges to be captured, and also allowed German artillery positions to be attacked (featured in Band of Brothers, at Breacourt Manor). On the beaches, the invasion forces were able to move inland relatively quickly, so there were points where D-Day looked as if it would be a failure, meaning there was no real turning point. Turning point for the entire war: D-Day was the most important turning point during the war due to its importance in stretching the German Forces and hitting the Germans hard. The combined effort by all of the allied forces on D-Day marked the turning point in the war, as it was the largest invasion attempt by the allies. It was also the start of US Operations in Northern France, and the US proved to be critical in defeating the Germans in Europe. On D-Day, around 156,000 Allied troops took part in the operation, around 73,000 of them American. With the massive assault on Europe, the Germans were forced to bring in troops from Russia and North Africa, stretching the German lines thin. This allowed the Russians to make major advancements, and the combined force of the allies and Russians led to Germany's defeat.

Did the allies start the Battle of Stalingrad and win?

The allies did not start the battle of Stalingrad. it was when Hitler want to take over the resource is that part of Soviet Union at that time, also known as Russia. Hitler was trying to get the oil in the area was a few miles from the military base. But Hitler was had a extremely hard time trying to win this war. France was taken 28 days by Germany, but the Germans only advanced a block in 28 days in Stalingrad. The reason why it was so hard for the Germans was because in the Soviet Union if you were to retreat it was considered to be disrespect to the country, so they would shoot the soldiers who would retreat from the Soviet Army. It eventually became a loss for Germany, and became the turning point of the war because Germany now was fighting defensive and not offensive.
