D-Day didn't "destroy" the Germans, it was the addition of the US forces that overwhelmed the German's already dwindling resources. Really the true source of Germany's lose is still debated among historians, but Operation Overload a.k.a. D-Day happened on June 6, 1944. D-Day didn't destroy the Germans! If any battle "destroyed" the Germans, it was Stalingrad! While D-Day certainly sealed the fate of Nazi Germany and preserved Western Europe from Stalinist domination, Wehrmacht forces were already on the run from Soviet forces in the East since 1943 after Soviet victory over virtually the entire German Army Group South in and around Stalingrad. The last serious German hope at reversing this trend was lost at Kursk from July to August 1943. Once again, be careful with broad statements like this, and bear in mind that as far as the European theater during WWII goes, the Soviets DID do most of the work in defeating then Nazis. Just looking at the casualty figures for both nations in their struggles against one another indicates this. America did emerge after WWII as one of the great superpowers, but so did the Soviets because they had done more than any other country to forever silence the threat of German militarism.

Why did airfields like manston came under so much fire from the Germans?
Manston and other airfields along the South-East coast of Britain came under heavy fire and bombing so often by the luftwaffe during the Battle-of-Britain because those bases were where the British were defending our shores from. Squadrons of Defiants, Blenheims, Hurricanes and Spitfires were being stationed at these small aerodromes waiting for the germans. The germans needed to destroy those landing strips and whatever else was there to stop the British aircraft from taking of to intercept them while they were on route to destroy their main targets in London and further afield.
