Yes, they marched across Western Europe with very little resistance.

I meant they had little resistance when compared to what the Russians faced on the Eastern front. And yes, I believe that the Russians would have defeated the Nazis regardless of whether or not the allies ever invaded Normandy. It would have taken them longer, but it would have happened. I think the outcome of the war was decided by early 1944.

As I said in an earlier post, over the 1943-1944 winter, Germany lost two-thirds of their army in Russia. The supply lines became too long, and over 2 million of their soldiers either starved to death or froze to death. That was too much for them to be able to overcome regardless of what happened after that.

Comparing the population of Germany back then to the United States now, that would be the equivalent of 10 million American soldiers dying. To put that in perspective, we currently have slightly more than 1 million total people in the Armed forces.
