Battle Of Stalingrad Turning Point

On September 30, 1938, Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, French Premier Edouard Daladier, and British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich Pact, which stated the future of Czechoslovakia, basically giving it over to Germany for peace. Despite the fact that the understanding was to only give Hitler the Sudetenland, which was a piece of Czechoslovakia where 3 million ethnic Germans lived, it eventually gave over to the Nazi war machine 66 percent of Czechoslovakia's coal, 70 percent of its iron and steel, and 70 percent of its electrical power. Without their resources, the Czech country was left helpless from the Germans. (www.history.com)
On September 1, 1939, Germany attacked Poland. The Polish armed force was destroyed inside
The intensely cold weather, guerilla warfare ,and vanishing supplies were also a factor to the Nazis losing the battle. This great battle is considered one of the turning points of World War II on the Eastern Front and one of the most important battles of World War II. The attacking Germans saw the victory of Stalingrad as very important part of their campaign in southern Russia because they could launch further attacks into Caucasus from a very strategic point on the Volga River. The Russians were focused to defend the city because it was a vital industrial and transportation center. (www.history.com)
The Battle of Normandy brought about the Allied freedom of Western Europe from Nazi Germany's control. Codenamed Operation Overlord, the fight started on June 6, 1944, also called D-Day, when 156,000 American, British and Canadian forces arrived on five shorelines along a 50-mile extent of the heavily guarded bank of France's Normandy area. The attack was one of the biggest land and/or water capable military strikes in history and had a lot of planning for it to work. Before D-Day, the Allies had a giant lying battle that was supposed to misdirect the Germans about the planned invasion target.
