What People Remember
Many people remember D-Day (June 6, 1944) as the single, decisive turning point that solely won World War II in Europe.

What's Actually True
D-Day was a critical turning point that opened the Western Front, but the tide of WWII had already begun to turn significantly on the Eastern Front (e.g., Battle of Stalingrad in 1943) and in North Africa. D-Day was part of a larger, coordinated Allied strategy, not a standalone victory.
