Question

What was the purpose of D-Day?

to launch a surprise invasion of Europe from southern Italy

to encourage the Soviet Union to continue fighting on the Eastern Front

to reclaim Western Europe first before attempting to move Allied troops into Germany

to establish a stronghold on Germany's northern coast

Answer 1

Well I doubt it's A cause the Allies invaded Southern Italy before.
I don't think it's B cause the Soviets just won Stalingrad and were moving into Germany from the East.
I don't think it's D cause D Day was in Normandy which is France.
So im gonna go with C. Hope this helps :).

Answer 2

C IS CORRECT

to reclaim Western Europe first before attempting to move Allied troops into Germany
