(This is a US/UK-centric web site; no apologies! In any case, for the West, this was the main effort against Germany, in keeping with a military philosophy directed against an enemy's center of gravity. To quote from the CCS directive for OVERLORD:

"You will enter the continent of Europe and ...
undertake operations aimed at the heart of Germany and the destruction of her armed forces."
