The Allied Expeditionary Force landed on the coast of Normandy, France on June 6, 1944. The invasion had been in the planning stages for over two years. Troops from the United States, England, and Canada invaded the coast of France, which had been controlled by the Nazis since June 1940. The invasion took six months of preparation. The Germans expected an invasion,but in the wrong location. The assault was successful, but not easy. Missteps by the Nazis gave Allied Forces valuable time. Within 24 hours, the Allies secured a toehold on the Coast of France. D-Day marked the beginning of the end for the Third Reich.
Explain how this singular event is considered "the beginning of the end" of Hitler's Third Reich?
