The allies needed to open up a second front in Europe. If they did not, it was possible that Russia would fall to the German Army in the East and that mainland Europe would remain uder Nazi occupation. Europe was at stake. Hitler held all of a large portion of Europe before D-day. Hitler could have sent the soldiers in France to throw back the Allies in Italy or the Russians. D-Day was the defining moment for the war in Europe. Hitler knew that as long as we remianed in England, he couldn't reach them. Europe was at stake. IT was to decide to who would get the spoils of the war. If D-Day had failed, then Russia would have taken most of the spoils.
