- D-Day (6 June 1944) and the Battle of Normandy opened a massive Allied Western front against Nazi Germany, forcing Germany to fight a two-front war (east against the Soviets, west against the Allies).
- It led to the liberation of France and western Europe from Nazi occupation and allowed Allied armies to advance into Germany.
- It severely depleted German manpower and materiel, weakening their ability to resist and speeding the collapse of Nazi Germany.
- The invasion demonstrated Allied air and naval superiority, successful deception (Operation Bodyguard), and large-scale combined operations that set the stage for victory in Europe.
