Montgomery brought Normandy in ahead of schedule with 22% less casualties than predicted. The end day set was D-Day+90. On that day British troops were taking Brussels and US forces in eastern France.

@xornxenophon3652 You really do not know. Look up the Battle of Moscow. Soviets say: 580,000 German casualties. The German advance was stopped at Moscow - they were not going to win. They were on the run at Stalingrad.

He did go for Moscow. In December 1941 the Soviets counter-attacked with a battering ram. From then onwards the Germans were going nowhere.

@xornxenophon3652 Soviets pulled out off the south allowing Germans to advance.

@xornxenophon3652 The Soviet oil fields were destroyed. If, on the remote chance the German ever managed to get into the Middle East, the British were waiting.

@xornxenophon3652 The Soviets destroyed all oil wells. Soviets were vetting oil from the British refinery at Aberdan in Iran. Throughout 1942 British Commonwealth troops were fighting, or seriously expecting to be attacked, in: ♦ French North Africa; ♦ Libya; ♦ Egypt; ♦ Cyprus; ♦ Syria: where an airborne assault was expected, with preparations to reinforce Turkey if they were attacked; ♦ Madagascar: fighting the Vichy French to prevent them from inviting the Japanese in as they had done in Indochina; ♦ Iraq; ♦ Iran: the British & Soviets invaded Iran in August 1941. Those spread-out covering troops were more in combined numbers than were facing Japan and Rommel in North Africa.

This makes out that if the Germans had sent more reinforcements to Normandy they would have won. That is stretching it a tad.
