Europe Theater of Operations

The Europe Theater of Operations (ETO) was the area of military activity during World War II that included Western and Central Europe, involving Allied forces fighting against Nazi Germany. It encompassed campaigns from D-Day in Normandy to the final push into Germany. The ETO coordinated large-scale planning, logistics, and combat efforts across multiple nations, primarily led by the United States, Britain, and other Allies. Its goal was to defeat Hitler’s regime, liberate occupied countries, and restore stability to Europe. The ETO played a pivotal role in ending the war in Europe and shaping post-war European history.
