The Allies decided early in the war, that Germany, not Japan, had to be defeated first. Germany had occupied most of Europe and large part of the Soviet Union and North Africa. The Allies were especially concerned about German scientists and their research and development of the atomic bomb and other military applications that could lead to German victory. After 1942, when

the mass executions of Jews and others was made known to the Allies, and the death camps, that added impetus to defeat Hitler as fast as possible. The Germans had proved themselves in World War 1 how formidable an opponent they were. The Allies knew that Hitler wasn't going to surrender by 1944 and that they would have to destroy her cities and military installations to force them to give up. The German soldier had sworn an oath to Hitler himself that he would fight and if necessary, die for the fatherland which millions did. This fanaticism prolonged the war in Europe.
