After five years of watching Germany seize and hold Europe, appearing all but invincible, what a tremendous psychological relief and uplift it must have been to see its occupying force in France being completely routed! Those maps showing the Wehrmacht beating a hasty retreat must have seemed almost too good to be true.

The real secret to our victory in WWII was prayer. (Also the key to American success and prosperity over the last two centuries.)
Rees Howells was a Christian missionary and leader who later in life founded a Bible college in Wales where amazing intercessory prayer went on and spiritual battles were won in prayer BEFORE the actual events happened on the ground.
The link describes some of this from a chapter in the book, Rees Howells Intercessor.
