How was Germany defeated by the Allies?

Answer 1

American, British and Canadian forces went ashore in Normandy in France on D Day - 6th June 1944 and gradually fought their way through France to the German border. While this was happening, Allied bombers were continually bombing Germany. At the same time, Soviet forces were attacking Germany from the east until the Allies all met up in Germany and Germany then surrendered. It is interesting to note that it took the three most powerful countries in the world acting together, before Germany could be beaten.

Answer 2

First answer: By overextending it's resources in the Soviet Union and fighting wars on multiple fronts. Napoleon suffered a similar defeat when he attempted to invade Russia.

Second improved answer: The above is correct, however of greater importance was Hitler's failure to prepare Germany for a long & costly war. German war production was not fully mobilized for maximum effort until late in 1943, and then even so, not all production was 24/7. Germany did not replace its losses in the Army fighting the Soviet Union. As a consequence, the German Army shrank in overall size after its invasion of the Soviet Union.

Allied war production (primarily US) vastly out-stripped the production of the Axis (Germany, Italy & Japan). The Allies had significant intelligence & code-breaking successes. The Allies began to have an increased advantage in most technological areas of the war, in addition to an advantage in numbers.

American daylight bombing & British nighttime city bombing drained Germany's resources away from the fighting land fronts, to the new aerial front against the German homeland & industries. The American daylight aerial campaign against Germany won the battle for air superiority over France before the Normandy invasion of June 1944, and defeated the German Luftwaffe in the skies over Germany by the late summer of 1944. Thereafter German oil & war production, and rail communication in the Third Reich was severely damaged. The resulting fuel shortage & disruption of German logistics was quickly felt on all fronts of the war. The shortage of experienced German pilots & lack of fuel combined to prevent German air support of its troops in the field from mid-1944 onwards. The nation that started the war in Europe in 1939, was defeated because it had not prepared to wage a war of attrition beyond 1941.
