Could Germany have possibly won after D-Day?

Question

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?

Yes, it is very true that they had long lost the war before D-Day. Italy was a disaster, Africa was going poorly, so was Russia.

Answer 1

The fate of the world, let alone the war, was decided on the banks of the Volga in the winter of 1942....

Answer 2

The Americans and British and their western allies (exiles from the occupied countries) were brave and fought a good fight. I don't want to take away from that. But Russia would have beaten Germany alone. By June 1944 that was recognized by the strategists on all sides, I believe. So even if Normandy had been an allied defeat, in the long run it wouldn't have mattered.

As far as the good always winning, I don't think so. Our view of good and evil is shaped by our culture which is shaped by the historic process the culture has gone through. I think Stalin wrote something about the victors writing history.

You say if Hitler hadn't been stupid he would have taken over. Let's say you mean patient, as in not invading Russia or declaring war on the U.S. We would have developed the atomic bomb before him which would have decided the matter. Or we would have used it to contain him like we used it to contain the Soviets. Eventually Hitler would have died and his succession looks murky from here. I think the Nazis would eventually have backed down just like the Soviets did.

But all that would have happened because of American determination , not goodness.

Hahaha! I Shouldn't Even Bother Arguing With You'z Brainwashed Dumb*sses. - (Be F*cking Realistic, Jews Would Not Have Been Extincted) - (Germany Would Not Have Made Anyone Non-German Slaves, Bullsh*t - What About All The Foreign German Army Volunteers That Joined From Literally Almost ALL Over The World.) - Look Up The Russian Mass Rapes Of Millions Of German Girls ("a woman in berlin" biography e.g.) - Look Up Eisenhower's Death Camps (Rheinwiesenlagern) - Look Up The Kayn Forest Massacre - Look Up Soviet Gulags + Anti-Jewish Action - Look Up Russification, Communisation + Russian Expansion - Look Up Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact + Secret Protocol - Look Up The Up To 65 Million Deaths Stalin Was Responsible For - Look Up Russian Invasion Of The Baltics, Finland, Ukraine, Poland etc (irrelevant to german expansion) - Look Up The Cold War + Aid In North Korea (look up Korean Death Camps) - Look Up Allied War Crimes/Soviet War Crimes etc etc - Look Up Australian Stolen Generation (Utopia documentary) - Look Up Black Slavery (And Asian Slavery) In America Even Way After WW2 Ended Just UseYour Brains And Open Your Eyes Man - This World And Society Is So Much More Corrupt Than You'z Think, And No Where Near As Free And Fair As It Claims. Btw I Think It Would Be Heavan Almost If Germanie'd Won. Cause Now Is Almost The Opposite. Had Germany Not Delayed Operation Barbarossa To Aid Itally In Taking Greece, Leningrad And Moscow Would Have Fallen Without The Russian Winter Along With Stalin, And The War Would Have Turned Out Very Differently.

Answer 4

D-Day is not the reason why Germany lost. It was the Russian winter that cost the Germans a lot of troops, moral and equipment.

Answer 5

N O, The German infrastructure was starting to collapse after all of the bombing and the failure of going into Russia and failures in North Africa.

Answer 6

They lost long before D-Day. Three fronts, two crumbling and one stagnated. There was no more if's by the time D-Day happened, it just would have taken four long years to pick up the pieces and try again, if they had failed that is.

Answer 7

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I must say that those **** were just doomed to fail.

But based on historical facts, they could've gain power again, if Hitler was not... ''stupid''.

May God not go with him.

Answer 8

Possible, but very unlikely.

Answer 9

No.
