Campaign History

Concurrently to the campaigns in the Far East, the Allies were preparing for a final campaign in Northwest Europe. On 6 June 1944 – known as D-Day - British, American and Canadian forces landed on the beaches of Northern France.

Over the next year the British, American and Canadian forces advanced across Western Europe, liberating German-occupied France, Belgium and the Netherlands. At the same time the Russians advanced from the East, through German-occupied Poland, Hungary, Slovakia and Austria towards Berlin.

The German forces surrendered when the Allies reached Berlin, bringing the war in Europe to an end on 8 May 1945.
