Did the invasion of Normandy cause the soviet Unioin to join war against Germany?
No. By the time of the invasion of Normandy the Soviet Union had been at war with Germany for three years. During all those three years the Soviet Union had been carrying, alone, the vast majority of the burden of ground combat against Germany. US and British operations in Africa, Sicily and Italy never occupied more than 10% of Germany's war effort. The Russians had been, and continued to do all the heavy lifting. The invasion of Normandy was to open a second front against Germany, and drain off strength from Germany's fight with Russia. It was also to prevent the Soviets from completely dominating all of Europe, once they had defeated Germany. But even after all the American and British and Allied forces were ashore in the west and engaged with the Germans, the Russians continued to occupy two-thirds of the German war machine.
Why didn't Germany invade Ireland in ww 2?
Although Germany's military commanders briefly considered invading Ireland (to draw away British troops who would be fighting against Germany's planned invasion of England), it was quickly determined to be unfeasible. The German Navy was not powerful enough to defeat the British Navy; even if the Germans were able to get enough ships past the British Navy to land troops in Ireland, they would have had great difficulty getting supplies or reinforcements to those troops. The German troops in Ireland would be cut off with no food or bullets, or men to replace their wounded or dead soldiers. When Germany abandoned its plan to invade England, it also completely abandoned any idea of invading Ireland. Soon, Germany's attention would shift to the invasion of the Soviet Union.

Why was London a particular target of Hitler and the German military?
London (being the capital of Great Britain) was bombed in retaliation for the earlier bombing by the British of Berlin, the capital of Germany. It was mostly a 'particular target' for Hitler who felt gravely insulted by the bombing of his capital city. The German military on the other hand had been focusing up to then on the bombing of British military air fields. Historians generally believe that if the German command had been allowed to go on focusing on the air fields, the British air force might have been largely destroyed, making a German invasion feasible. As it was, the focus on London allowed the RAF to rebuild and regroup, which probably was a major factor in Germany's decision to call off the invasion of Britain.
