The Allies, US, UK, Poland, Free France, and others ramped up their manufacturing to a war footing to produce the material requirements for an war. At the same time they were training and supplying troops and gaining the experience and shipping needed to support amphibious invasions.

Then they used two fleets, one from the US, and one from England, and invaded North Africa to remove the Axis pressure on the vital Suez Canal which brought much needed troops and goods from the British Empire to the war effort.

Then they invaded Sicily and eventually Italy to divert Axis men and materiel from the defense of Western Europe.

Had the Germans not had to dedicate resources against the Soviets and the Mediterranean Theater of Operations they would have been a much more difficult proposition when the invasion of Europe took place.

How did the geography of the Battle of Bunker Hill strategy?

The Americans' tacticts were to fire from behind fortified positions at the British troops as they charged up the slope of the hill. The Americans had created breastworks along the top of the hill during the night so they would be protected from British fire. The British tactic was simply rushing in formation up the slope of the hill to attack the Americans behind the breastworks. The British tactics were poorly thought out because the Americans, behind their fortifications drove the British back down the hill at least twice. On the final British charge the Americans had to retreat because they had run out of ammunition. Another tactic the Americans used was to try to shoot British officers before shooting the regular infantrymen in order to disrupt the command and control of the British army. The battle was actually fought on Breed's Hill, not Bunker Hill. When the Americans marched to the hill in the darknes to make the fortifications, they went to the wrong hill.
