The allied force invasion on to the beaches of Normandy was the most successful joint offensive operation in the history of warfare. German leader Adolph Hitler led the axis forces on a march across Europe and felt he had the world at his fingertips because of their efforts. The allied invasion of the beaches Normandy, France, provided the necessary momentum required for the elimination of the Nazi German aggression in WWII and ultimately led to the end of the war. Pundits disagree that the mission was successful because of the large numbers of casualties and equipment losses, but these losses were necessary for world security and the preservation of country state boundaries in Europe.
