**It was a key turning point and marked the beginning of the end of Hitler's reign**

It was the start of the Liberation of France in WW2. Steadily the Russians were rolling the Eastern Front back towards Berlin, but the landings of principally the US, British & Canadian forces, in great numbers, on the Normandy Beaches, signalled the nearing of the end of the Third Reich & Nazi domination in WW2. It would be 11 months before the Germans finally surrendered. It remains the largest amphibious operation in warfare, a mighty feat of arms. It was important that the Allies got it right in terms of timing & effect ecause many lives would have been lost had they not fulfilled its objectives as they did. I suppose it was significant in that it represented to all that the Nazis would be overthrown, that Hitler would be removed from power.

D-Day was the Allies penetrating the "European Fortress" and pushing the Axis back into Europe. This was by many considered the start of the end of the war.

What was d-day and why does it play such a part in the allies fate?

D DAY was the day the allies went to recapture france the battle following Dieppe In World War 2 in comparisson to WW1 in a sense dieppe was like the battle of the sommes and dday was like the battle of vimy ridge. Dieppe was a failure and the lessons learned lead to the success of Dday. Dday played an important part in the allies fate because the allies recaptured france who had fell to russia only 6 weeks into war. this marked the last battle in europe in ww2.
