WWII in Europe Continued

I agree with this statement because although there were definitely mistakes on Germany's part, the Allies were able to amp up their game in order to defeat the Germans

The Soviets made many reforms to their military. They updated their equipment, like putting radios into tanks so they could communicate much faster. Stalin also backed off a bit and allowed his officers more freedom, which allowed the military to make more intelligent moves. The support of the Soviet people were also very important. Before, they did not think much of the war, but once Germany started invading, they realized what the potential harm of Germany taking over would be, and they started supporting the government in fighting back. The Allies supplied the Soviets with raw material, food, and supplies.

The Allies finally invaded France in June 6, 1944. This took a lot of resources, but when the Allies combined together they were able to pull it off. They effectively cut off supplies for Germany.

Overall, Hitler underestimated the potential of the Allies. He saw them as how they were before World War Two. Although the Allies were weak at first, they learned fast and developed many new gadgets and tactics to face Germany with.
