That word "Germans" would have a whole different meaning

Watch as the Soviets roll across Western Europe

Ironically enough, this would have been a disaster for Germany unless they convinced the Americans and Brits to sign an armistice before the summer of 1945, because the atomic bombs would have been falling on Germany and not Japan.

There is a series in Netflix that actually goes into what would have happened if Germany and Japan would have won the war. Forgot name of series. Sorry

Then the Russians would've won the war. Hitler was always going to loose, the point was who would win, us or Russia

I tend to agree with this. The Germans were bled white on the Eastern Front. We would have been weakened considerably.
Best case, the war would have dragged on for much longer, like 2-3 years perhaps. Worst case, the Russians would have rolled up the entire European continent.

do something about it then, tough guy. I make you WISH you were on the Russian Front wearing a speedo and armed with a sling shot.

Only two things would've led to a defeat at Normandy:
• Air SUPERIORITY by the German Luftwaffe
• A strong, threatening presence of the German U-boat fleet
If these threats had existed prior to the invasion, I doubt the operation would've been carried out. In it place perhaps, there might have been an invasion of Norway, albeit on a much smaller scale than Normandy, or a stepped up effort to dislodge the Germans from Italy. I imagine too that every effort would've been made to draw out and decimate the Luftwaffe.
Allied air dominance over Europe was the key to victory on that continent. I could see that being a primary Allied strategy had Normandy failed or not been attempted.

More bombing of civilian targets maybe even a nuke in Berlin, nothing was out of the realm of the impossible.
