The invasion of Northern Europe by Anglo-American forces, particularly through the D-Day landings in Normandy on June 6, 1944, marked a crucial turning point in World War II. It opened a second front against Nazi Germany, alleviating pressure on Soviet forces in the East and facilitating the liberation of occupied territories. This strategic offensive ultimately contributed to the collapse of the Third Reich and the end of the war in Europe in May 1945. Additionally, it solidified the Allied cooperation and set the stage for post-war geopolitics in Europe.
