What battles contributed the greatest to the defeat of the Germans in world war 2?

Answer 1

D-Day at Normandie was certainly significant since it put Allied troops on the ground INSIDE France. The "Battle of the Bulge" was the significant turning point that demoralized the German troops. Germany might have succeeded in both of those battles if Hitler had not been so intent on defeating Russia. He committed so many resources to the north that he could not successfully defend Normandie or fight at the Battle of the Bulge.

Answer 2

ANSWER.

Hitler wanted the British to join him and hoped the victory of France would bring about a deal with the UK. Hitler knew if the British cut a deal then France, USA, Spain, Turkey and the Arab world would also join him.

Churchill made it clear however that the UK would never cut a deal or surrender under any terms.

The Battle of Britain was fought and the Luftwaffe were destroyed by the RAF. Hitlers heart was broken, he failed to get the new allies he needed and now had few if any experienced pilots left.

He thus, in an act of senseless anger, ordered the invasion of the Soviet Union a war he could not win as the Soviets provided 80% of all the raw materials Hitler used.

Hitler gave the failure of the Luftwaffe and victory of the RAF as the sole reason for his defeat.
