'Overtake' is'nt exactly the right word, however the British and Commonwealth forces re-captured Burma from the Japanese, pushed German and Italian forces out of Egypt and Lybia and played a prominant role in in defeating the Axis powers in Tunisia, Italy, Belgium and the Netherlands (along side the US of course). they also liberated much of north west France and occupied most of north east Germany (along with the Canadians).
There were lesser known operations, such as a the invasion of Iran (British Commonwealth forces took the south whilst the Russians took the north) and the Battle of Madagascar (British Commonwealth forces defeated the Vichy French garrison and returned control to the free French)
