How did allied counter offesive in World War 2 begin?
Not very far apart in time there were two Allied victories that made a great difference to the course of WW2. The first was the second battle of el Alamein, in Egypt in 1942. It lasted fro September to November & ended Rommels' advance towards Cairo & the Suez Canal. And then there was Stalingrad. The Germans had put in a great deal of effort into the war in the East, North Africa was a much much smaller affair, and finally the Russians halted the German advance towards the Caucasus Oil Fields. Leningrad would remain besieged & Moscow out of reach for the Germans, but Stalingrad was a defeat to spark the long, long march towards Berlin. Basically once the Allies began to go on the offensive in Russia & then into Sicily & Italy they would continue slow sure progress towards Germany. Obviously there were setbacks, but essentially the Germans had won their last battle. In June 1944 Overlord was successful in Normandy, France. but it would still be 11 months before Russians & US Forces shook hands on the Elbe in Germany.
When was Hitler defeated?
TheNazi's really were finished when they invaded Russia even though it was a battle that the German's had the greatest chance of defeating the Russians and completely dominating Europe, but the Germans even though fighting ferociously and took massive amounts of land from Russia, amazingly dominating Russia, Hitler's over confidence lead him to attempt to dominate the north and south before invading Moscow, which would thus take Russia out of the war. The Russians pushed the German forces back from their attempts to dominate the northern and southern provinces, Hitler was running out of time to defeat Russia, the German forces invaded Russia in their summer dress, and absolutely no force but Russians could fight with full brutality in an Russian winter. Hitler's attempts to prove his strength only gave the Russians time to heavily fortify the Capital and supply all their soldiers with ammunition and reinforce all ground forces, with tanks and fellow comrades. In an do or die attempt to take Moscow, Hitler ordered all his forces in Russia to withdraw and attack Moscow, Hitler ran out of time winter hit as they attacked the capital, snow slowed the tanks to 27 kph mud froze a metre deep taking away the ability to dig, Hitler ordered that his men keep assaulting the capital and put Germany into a state of emergency, all winter clothes and supplies were to be put towards the forces in Russia, Air bombardments devastated the slow tanks as well as all transport, the German ground troops as well as the surviving tanks kept pressing forward as ordered, The Russians were determined far more then the Germans, the Russian Forces set out an all out charge at the Germans Pushing them back out of the capital and into a massive retreat the first ever retreat since the invasion started, after this the German forces were devastated losing third of their forces from the campaign of Moscow, The Russians marched in millions in a huge counterattack Hitler distrusting of his Generals became Commander in Chief of Germany and told his men there will be no retreats and ordered them to hold their ground. This was the biggest mistake the Russians Took back Russia and then marched in millions upon millions into Germany, upon this America joined the war, The Russians were unstoppable.
