Had D-Day failed, would Hitler have won the war?

I believe they would have regrouped and tried a stronger push through the Italian Peninsula. The situation would have stagnated in the long run but the ever strengthening USSR would have probably overrun Europe. Either that or the Germans would have grown in strength and commanded Europe to this day.

Germany would have developed the ABomb as they were VERY close during the real war! They would have used one on London and one on the front line Russians and all sides would have sued for peace.

One of the great ironies in history is that the Americans managed to intercept a shipment of materials which the Germans sent to Japan in order to help the Japanese develop a nuclear weapon. Those materials were later used for the nuclear bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Just a random historical fact which entered my mind there.

Also the Germans and Japanese had planned a two front assault on the Panama canal. All was in place and it WOULD have happened if Japanese ships hadn't been diverted away for Midway. The Japanese had submarines that could carry aircraft and were about to be launched for the attack.

General Eisenhower's statement if the invaision was lost was to assure Americans it was not Bitburg II:

"Our landings in the Cherbourg Havre area have failed to gain a satisfactory foothold and I have withdrawn the troops. My decision to attack at this time and place was based upon the best information available. The troops, the air and the Navy did all that Bravery and devotion to duty could do. If any blame or fault attaches to the attempt it is mine alone."

Did you watch the living history thing on MSNBC? The grandchildren looked a LOT like their grandfathers.
