Since the Allies had already invaded Europe by landing in Italy why was the Normandy invasion necessary?
D-Day was necesary. There were over a million German troops in Italy and they had stopped all advances further north from Rome.
Rome was only taken the day before the Normandy landings.
The opening of this front in France was another way of tieing down more Germans so helping the Russians.
It was also the way we would be able to liberate France, holland, belgium and Denmark.
Good question because Winston Churchill had envisioned Italy would fall very quickly. He thought the Allies could push up through Italy and swing east through Yugoslavia and into Austria and capturing Vienna within a year. But this proved not to be the case. General Kesselring proposed to Hitler to fight a delaying campaign by applying pressure against the Allied advance. The terrain of Italy was ideal for a German defensive battle.
