However, the failure of German to win the Battle of Britain, the exhaustion from protracted battle in the East with Russia, and America's eventual entry into the conflict changed face of the war entirely. The growing diversion of resources necessary to fight the war on both fronts made decisive victory nearly impossible. German territorial gains peaked in 1942, followed be defeats in both North Africa and Russia. The superior power of the Allied air forces led to the eventual defeat of the Luftwaffe (German air force) in 1944. With the D-Day landing of June 6, German resources for its war machine were even more stretched and when American forces broke out of Normandy in late July, the end seemed in sight. Eventually, the Allied forces prevailed, reaching Berlin in May of 1945.
