I'm sorry, but this is incorrect.

Hitler made several mistakes that ultimately cost him victory in Europe with the breaking of his treaty with Stalin being high on the list.

But it was America's industrial might that kept England afloat which in turn served as the base for D-Day. Without D-Day and the liberation of France, Hitler would have been able to stablize his hold on the west and fight a one front war.

German equipment was superior to Russian equipment and the only thing that kept Hitler of from taking Moscow was lack of resouces combined with the Russian winter. If D-Day hadn't happened in '44, then Russia probably would have sued for peace by '45.
