EL ALAMEIN:

The second battle of El Alamein was the turning point of the war in North Africa, during World War II. The battle was the continuation of the first battle of El Alamein, which had halted the advance of the Afrika Korps forces. General Bernard Montgomery had taken command of the British 8th Army, displacing Claude Auchinleck in August 1942.

Allied victory ended with the German desires to seize Egypt, then British protectorate, and take control of the Suez Canal, as well as the oil wells of the Middle East. After this battle, the German forces had to retreat across the entire north coast of Africa, suffering at all times the British persecution, until finally a large number of German soldiers were trapped in Tunisia, although many escaped to Sicily.

BATTLE OF SICILY:

The Allied invasion of Sicily began on the night of 9 to 10 July 1943 and ended on 17 August with a victory by the Allies. The invasion of the island was called Operation Husky and began with a large amphibious and aerial operation, followed by a six-week land campaign and began the Italian campaign.

Husky was the largest amphibious operation of the Second World War until that moment, in terms of men landed on the beaches and in extension. Strategically, the Sicilian operation achieved the goals proposed to it by allied planners. The Axis air and naval forces were expelled from the island; the routes of the Mediterranean were cleared and Mussolini was arrested by the Fascist Grand Council and the King. The road to the Allied invasion of Italy was opened, which had not been considered necessary as a continuation of Operation Husky.

BATTLE OF ANZIO:

The Battle of Anzio was part of the military operations of the Second World War and lasted from January 22, 1944 until May 24 of the same year.

This battle was fought around the ancient cities of Anzio and Nettuno in Italy, landing about 40,000 allied soldiers as part of Operation Shingle.

The long and exhausting battle of position that took place in Anzio continued until the following spring, when the Germans were forced to retreat after the collapse of the front of Cassino. Even in this case, however, the main objective, which was the destruction of German forces in Italy, was not achieved and the retreating Germans could escape from the allied grip and rearrange on the Gothic Line, bulwark that for months blocked the Anglo-Americans in the Apennines .

D-DAY:

The Battle of Normandy, code-named Operation Overlord, was the military operation carried out by the Allies during the Second World War that culminated in the liberation of the territories of Western Europe occupied by Nazi Germany. The operation began on June 6, 1944, better known as D-Day, with the Normandy landings; the set of naval operations received the code name of Operation Neptune. An airborne assault carried out by one thousand two hundred aircraft preceded the amphibious landing, which involved five thousand ships. On June 6, one hundred and sixty thousand soldiers crossed the Channel from England to France and by the end of August the allied troops on French soil were more than three million.

The Allies were not able to achieve the objectives planned for the first day, but they did secure a precarious beachhead that they expanded tenaciously in the following days, with the capture of the port of Cherbourg on June 26 and the city of Caen on the July 21. The German counterattack of August 8 failed and left 50,000 soldiers of the VII Army of the Wehrmacht trapped in the so-called Falaise Pocket. On August 15, the Allies launched an invasion of southern France, Operation Dragoon, and on August 25 the Liberation of Paris took place. German forces withdrew through the Seine River valley on August 30, marking the end of Operation Overlord.
