In World War 2, in Russia, Germany could attack in the summer and push back the Russians. The Russians would attack in the winter. The Germans were not prepared for the Russian winters and the German machinery would not work in the cold Russian winters. By 1944-1945 American and British bombers had destroyed so many German factories that the Germans did not have the planes and tanks to support their troops in the field. When the Russians attacked, the Germans could not defend against them.
In North Africa Britain attacked German troops from Egypt and the Americans attacked from the other side of North Africa. They met in the country of Tripoli. A number of Germans surrendered. From there the English and American Armies went to Sicily and the boot of Italy.
Then America and England attacked Normandy by landing on a beach. A few weeks later an Arab army landed in Southern France. The American Army and English Army attacked. Hitler tried a counter attack in North East Belgium. It was called the Battle of the Bulge. When that German Army was destroyed, resistance against the Americans and English Armies dropped way down. The Arabs on the south of the American lines continued attacking with vengeance. (They had lived under German rule in North Africa until the Americans had liberated them.) Unlike the Americans, they did not like taking prisoners.

The Russian Army held the Germans at Leningrad and Stalingrad, eventually defeating the Germans at Stalingrad while taking 300,000 Germans prisoner. From there, the Russians pushed the German army back to Berlin, capturing the Reichstag, or the German equivalent of the US capital building.
