When
the Allies attacked the Axis they had to come from the ocean onto land.
That is why amphibious vehicles were so important during this war. An amphibious
vehicle can travel on water and on land. The Allies were able to use them
to bring all their supplies from their huge ships onto the land while they
were being shot at. The battles of Normandy (known as D-Day) and Iwo Jima
were two of the most important battles in this war where amphibious vehicles
were used. The US Navy, US Army, and the US Marine Corps used thousands
of amphibious vehicles in many other battles to help the Allies win the
war. World
