Answer 1

A, B, C

A) The number of German casualties and their previous losses likely made it difficult for Germany to recover.

B) The Normandy invasion was a significant turning point during the war.

C) Germany experienced the most casualties during the Normandy invasion.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the bar graph, you can see that Germany had the most casualties compared to all the other countries combined. All these losses were probably quite difficult to recover from.

The Normandy invasion was the largest attack involving both land and water in history. The allied powers had given a great deal of effort to trick Germany into believing the attack was planned for Calais. The Germans surrendered France after this attack and it was deemed a huge victory, especially because now the allied powers had land to fight from on continental Europe. In the graph, this is demonstrated by the amount of casualties Germany sustained versus the amount the allied powers had.

Germany experienced about 320,000 casualties of roughly 550,000 casualties overall. Even if there were only two countries in battle on this day, Germany and lets say Great Britain, Germany would still have the most casualties in that battle. Germany's 320k casualties vs hypothetical Great Britains 230k casualties.
