Additional Description: The Allied crusade to free Western Europe from Nazi tyranny began with the greatest waterborne invasion in history ("Operation Overlord"). Then armored armies spearheaded a breakout from Normandy and raced across France to liberate Belgium. Also, Allied forces had invaded southern France in Operation Anvil and sped north to the Swiss border. The Allied armies crossed the Rhine and smashed thru Germany to meet victorious Soviet forces at the Elbe River to complete the Allied liberation of Europe.
