-D-Day- The landing of Allied troops in Normandy. It was very successful. It was the largest amphibious invasion in history to that point.

-US bombing of Germany- A famous bombing was the bombing of Dresden. There was a conference in Casablanca where it was decided to bomb Germany. Rail lines transporting Jews were not bombed because it was not a strategic military objective.

-VE Day and the story of Germany surrendering- After Hitler committed suicide the German forces declined greatly. Hitler had basically lost the war after the battle of the bulge. When Germany no longer had a leader the German forces began to pull out of all the other countries. May 8th 1941 was VE Day.
