As German troops and materiel were moved to the Russian front and to Africa, the majority of the German military could not stay in the western European countries they had overrun in 1940. What remained could not withstand the opening of the Western Front after D-Day. Fighting on three fronts (the Soviet, Italian, and French theaters), the Germans soon depleted their reserves of manpower, equipment, and fuel.
