Where and when did the allies open a second front in Europe

Second Front. In November 1943, Joseph Stalin, Winston Churchill, and Franklin D. Roosevelt met together in Teheran, Iran, to discuss military strategy and post-war Europe. Ever since the Soviet Union had entered the war, Stalin had been demanding that the Allies open-up a second front in Europe.

Allies opened a second front in Europe, but it was a long process that took years. Taking years to plan and come up with ideas on how they would do this, this got a code name called Operation Overload. By June 1944, almost 3 million troops were ready for the invasion. On June 6, 1944, the day known as D-Day had started. 4,000 ships filled with Allies invaded France. Although going under heavy gunfire, the Allies pushed on. They would not retreat. More and more Allies continued coming onto France, eventually reaching Paris. After four years of being ruled by the Nazis, France was finally free.
