I'm curious if Germany never attacks Russia could the US have defeated Germany when they were at full strength?

It only looks dreadfully stupid if the Germans didn't take the bait on Calais.
So they sat...in Calais.
If you bomb too early, the whole plan is shite.
It worked but because our intel & propaganda were airtight on Calais.

1 the invasion was dependent on a relatively rare confluence of weather, moon and tide. These windows were usually weeks apart. When an opportunity presented itself they had to take it
2. The lack of prolonged heavy bombardment was part of a deliberate deception plan to make the Germans believe the main landing would come at the Pas de Calais. It worked to perfection. Even after the Normandy landings were days old, Hitler refused to commit reserves to Normandy, thinking it was a diversion. While the lack of bombardment may have cost lives initially, it saved lines in the long run. At any event, we were ashore and moving inland at the end of day one. Omaha Beach notwithstanding, the invasion couldn't have gone much better
