Answer:
Allied forces seized Germany from the east and west, forcing a surrender.
Explanation:
After the landing of Normandy in June 1942, a second front was opened in the Allied effort against Nazi Germany and its allies. Combined U.S., British and other armies advanced from the West toward Germany and to Berlin. From the East, the Soviet Union pushed the resisting Wehrmacht units that kept retreating. Having entered the war in 1941, the Soviet Union suffered the heaviest losses in soldiers and civilians and fought the largest concentration of German armies of the whole WWII.
