Pushing Back the Axis

This chapter explores pivotal strategies used by the Allies during World War II, including the Casablanca Conference's plans to bomb Germany to weaken morale and destroy industry. It discusses the invasion of Sicily as the "soft underbelly," which led to significant casualties and set the stage for the Tehran Conference. The chapter also covers the planning of Operation Overlord, focusing on the D-Day landings in Normandy on June 6, 1944, and the subsequent Allied operations to secure victory in Europe and the post-war division of Germany.
