German invasion of Poland.
The goal was, in short, to land Allied troops on German- occupied territory, and begin the initial invasion of German-occupied Europe.It was successful.
Using the definition "Nazi controlled Europe", I think that might have been the Invasion of Sicily in July of 1943.
During World War II, the route chosen by the Allies to cross into France and begin liberating the mainland of Europe was the beach-dominated coast of Normandy, France. With this "D-Day" invasion of Normandy achieving success, the Allies then moved deeper into France (thence the rest of Europe) through both central and northern lines-of-advance in France.
The second front that the Allies opened in Western Europe during World War II was the Normandy invasion, commonly known as D-Day, which took place on June 6, 1944. This operation, codenamed Operation Overlord, involved a massive amphibious assault on the beaches of Normandy, France, and was aimed at liberating Western Europe from Nazi occupation. The successful landing marked a significant turning point in the war, allowing Allied forces to establish a foothold in Europe and begin advancing towards Germany.
D-Day was the Allied invasion of Normandy, France. It gave the Allies a foothold in western France and would cause the Germans to retreat. The significant factor was that large numbers of Allied forces could safely land on parts of France that the Allies held. It was also a significant morale boost for the Allies. Germany now found itself fighting on three fronts. Fighting Allied troops in Italy, Russia and France.
Very simply, the need for the Allies to gain a foothold on European soil to enable them to begin the assault on Hitler's "Fortress Europe."j3h.
The D-Day invasion began on the beaches of Normandy.
