Why did German forces need to invade Britain if they were to hold Western Europe?
Britain (and to a lesser extent Ireland, officially neutral) represented a marshalling point for Allied armies and war material, close enough to bomb mainland Europe and Germany, and to project seapower around the continent. The delay and eventual cancellation of the invasion meant that American and Allied forces could attack the German military presence in Europe for the entire second half of the war.
Did Hitlers suicide end World War 2?
To an extent it shortened the war in Europe, but Hitler's suicide was motivated by the defeat of Germany. The war in Europe went on for a short time afterwards, but the new German leadership was eager to make peace with the Western Allies (British, American, French, and others) than to face the wrath of Russia. Even after Germany's surrender, the war against Japan continued for a few more months.
