Who was winning the war in the beginning of World War 2?

The Axis(Germany+Italy+Japan+Puppet states) were winning for a long time, they controled most of the Europe and would maintain to do so if Hitler didn't make some mistakes when invading his ex-ally Russia. He got pushed back and if it isn't enough, USA got involved after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, which means that "Allies" got 2 new members(Russia and USA). With US equipment and troops in Europe, UK/France/Poland and others could finally push forward towards Germany. This is where the tides turned against the Axis. Until that point, Axis were successful in their plan.


What countries had the biggest roles in world war 2?

AnswerRussia was, by far and large, the most important of the allied nations in World War II. The five largest battles of the war were all on the eastern front, as were the vast majority of German troops and equipment, and also the most German casualties. While the casualties in battles of the western allies could be numbered in the thousands, such as at El Alamein, Normandy, the Italian campaigns, or the Battle of the Bulge for example, those on the eastern front were in the millions. The back of the German army was broken in Russia at Stalingrad, Moscow, and Kursk, and while Britain and the US contributed to the war, there contributions were only as a peripheral theater that diverted German troops from the more important eastern front.In addition, to claim that allied victory was a result of the industrial potential of the US is again folly to some degree, in that most of this equipment did not reach the Russians until the tides of battle had already turned (with Stalingrad being fought over the winter of 1942-3)While the Russians did not make a major contribution to defeating the Japanese, the Germans were the more powerful enemy.This should not downplay the contributions the US, Britain, and other nations made, but it should put them in perspective. ~400,000 Americans died in World War II, as compared to 20,000,000 Russians.


Who was responsible for storming the Utah beach?

The storming of Utah Beach during the D-Day invasion on June 6, 1944, was primarily carried out by the 4th Infantry Division of the United States Army. Under the command of Major General Raymond O. Barton, the division aimed to capture the beach and secure a foothold in Normandy. Despite facing challenges and some disorientation due to strong tides and inaccurate drop zones, the troops successfully landed and advanced inland.


Why was operation sea lion postponed?

Operation Sea Lion was the planned German invasion of Britain. To have any chance of victory, Germany would firstly need air and naval control over the English Channel. In order to cross the channel the Germans needed to meet 3 conditions. They needed control of the sea and of the air and they needed the tides in their favor. At no point in the war were Germany in this position. Adolf Hitler cancelled Operation Sea Lion because the leader of the Luftwaffe, which was the German air force (led by Herman Goering) convinced Hitler that his air force could bring Great Britain to its knees, and Hitler believed him. In the invasion of Norway, Germany suffered considerable losses within their small navy. They had also lost the pocket Battleship Graf Spee at the end of 1939, so in order to keep the Royal Navy out of the chanel they had to control the sky above completely. Time was not on their side because their makeshift invasion fleet of river barges would not be able to navigate the channel after the last favorable tide before winter. By mid September it was clear that they had not caused significant damage to the RAF and by losing the air battle, the sea and land battles could not commence.
