After a dangerous but successful amphibious landing at Normandy
on D-Day, June 6, 1944, the Allied forces pushed into France and
eventually overcame the German occupation forces. The Germans were
short on supplies and fighting a losing battle against the Soviets
on the Eastern Front (and had forces trapped in Italy) and could
not stop the onslaught. The Germans retreated across France back
into Germany, making one last counterattack at the Battle of the
Bulge (December, 1944), before being finally defeated in May,
1945.
