By D-Day, the USSR had destroyed half the Axis army all by itself. During D-day, Germany had less than a quarter of it's troops commited to the western parts, equally distributed in France, Italy and Germany. Yet they were still fully capable of throwing the allied invasion of Normandy back into the sea, they just didn't.
Seeing as the war was over at the loss of Stalingrad in late 1942, the German high command preferred to be occupied by the allies than the soviets. Except it just had to take a year and a half before the US would send it's ill-equipped GIs to Europe... Only to have them massacred by token forces in e.g. the battle of the Hurtgen Forest. A ludicrous fight where some 25,000 GIs died for the sake of a couple of encircled hills defended Alamo-style by a ragtag band of cripples and elderly.
Oh, go back to /k/ with you.
