Once the allies had secured the beaches and moved in after D-Day, was there any way possible for Nazi Germany to still win? I mostly ask this question, because even though from all the books I've read the answer seems to be 'no', I don't like that the history of warfare is often presented as something that had to be carried out; that there was no true threat, because victory will always go to those who 'are true' to the good cause. Do you know what I mean? The way its taught in high school, I remember, was these Germans went and picked a fight and it was only a matter of time before the big bad Allies came in and whomped them. But there was a REAL threat. If Hitler hadn't been stupid, he would have taken over. So, again, thats why I ask this question: Was it possible for Nazi Germany to turn the war back in their favor after the success of The Battle of Normandy?
