A YEAR INTO THE WAR
Rationing
 This poster encouraged
people to save peelings
and food waste for the
“pig bins”.
 In 1943 sausages , eggs,
cheese , bacon and milk
were in short supply. So
the markets would have
all of them one week ,
but would have none the
next week.
D-Day
D-Day
 On June 6, 1944 the Allied
Forces of Britain, America,
Canada, and France
attacked German forces on
the coast of Normandy,
France. With a huge force
of over 150,000 soldiers,
the Allies attacked and
gained a victory that
became the turning point
for World War II in Europe.
This famous battle is
sometimes called D-Day or
the Invasion of Normandy.
 After the Battle
By the end of D-Day over
150,000 troops had landed
in Normandy. They pushed
their way inland allowing
more troops to land over
the next several days. By
June 17th over half a
million Allied troops had
arrived and they began to
push the Germans out of
France

By 1943 the Allies
were winning .One
reason was that Allied
factories were
building thousands of
tanks, ships and
planes . In 1944 , a
huge allied army
crossed from Britian
to liberate (free)
France . Then allied
armies invaded
Germany. By May
1945 the war in
Europe was over.

The Pacific war went
on until August 1945.
There were fierce
fighting on Pacific
Islands and big naval
battles at sea. Finally
the Allies dropped
atomic bombs on two
Japanese cities .
Japan then exited the
war.
