D-Day to Berlin - The Battle for France (Part 1 of 6)

In 1944, Europe's future hung in the balance. Our 3-part series follows
the story of Allied forces--from Normandy to the assault on Germany--and
the victories that led to WWII's end in 1945. We begin on the day after
D-Day, unfolding over the summer of 1944 as the initial narrow sliver of
French coastline gained by the Allies is slowly extended. By the end of
August, Allied victory seemed assured. Rommel had been wounded, Hitler
was directing the battle, and the German army was in full retreat.

The European Axis powers failed everything against the British-Soviets, Operation Sealion possible invasion of Britain could not even get past stage1, Battle of Britain-RAF Victory. The Axis failed attempts 2 invade& occupy British-Africa. Operation Barberossa, Ends in disaster with Moscow and the fact millions of Axis are been killed, Stalingrad major turning point.

@WorstCommenter2008 If your'e saying hitler was purely a defensive leader, you're wrong. The reason he is known for his defense is because well, let's think about how this realistically, the germans were being attacked by the rest of the WORLD how do you attack the world alone. You are forced to defend. The axis were fighting scores of NATIONS it is a sure sign of superiority when you can hold out 5 years, 100-1.

@martynrobin121 Under the leadership of hitler, even the worlds most mightiest armies combined vs some partisians would fail. Hitler had the leadership skills of a twelve year old who knows only one thing, best defence is a good offence.

@WorstCommenter2008 It was impossible for the Axis to even attept an invasion of Britain. Also in North-Africa, both Germany-Italy failed everything, The same in the Mid-East and the in the Med. It was the same in the East, Barberossa ended in disaster with Moscow-Rostov everything went down hill after. British-Soviets were always going to win, Napolean done a better job.

[WorstCommenter2008]

@martynrobin121 Well Sealion is Sealion, the name already favored the british.

As for British-Africa, Italy being a bunch of Pussy ass cowards who couldnt get anything done. Even Greece beat them. Probably using 300 spartans.
