The General Dwight Eisenhower made a plan to invade Germany early in 1942. The plan, Operation Round Up, would have the Allies in France at the beginning of 1943, as the idea was to help out the Soviet Union by making the German forces fight in both the East and the West. The English thought that it was too early to launch an attack since the Germans were too strong to be dealt with. Instead, they decided on attacking bases in North Africa as it would be easier to be victorious there. The plan was for the Allies to go from Africa up to Italy and join the European battles from there. The original Operation Round Up occurred a year after, and was instead called Operation Overlord.
