ch 3.4: the end of WW2

Eastern Front: the Germans are in full retreat.

Berlin

Stalingrad

Moscow

The Red Army pushes into Europe, towards Germany

But Stalin has not been happy with his Western Allies

He demands that they open a "Second Front" soon.

We are 

doing all the fighting. 

We suffer 

         the most!

Why don't 

the US and Britain    

 attack the Germans from the west?

          Give them a two                front war? 

Hmm, I don't 

trust Stalin.

    What's wrong with

           Nazis and Communists              killing each 

            other ?

Roosevelt and Churchill agree to a western invasion.

Preparations for Operation "Overlord" begin.

We must 

help Stalin. 

He's our 

ally now!

The Allies will then attack the French Atlantic Coast

The day of the invasion will be D-Day: Decision Day

The Germans were building defenses along the entire Atlantic Coast

They called it: the Atlantic Wall

In charge of the Atlantic Wall was general Erwin Rommel
