One result of the military operation described in the passage was that the Allies began to close in on Germany from both the east and west.

Step-by-step explanation:

The quote refers to a battle that took place on a beach, and whose development led to many allied deaths. Those characteristics occurred in the Battle of Normandy, in which the allied forces landed on the French coasts to liberate France from the Nazi occupation. The long-term consequence of this battle was that Germany began to retreat on the Western Front, which eventually accelerated its defeat in World War II.
