You are aware that a second front was already in existence (Africa), and a third opened up in 1943 (Sicily) right? You should also be aware that at the very most only 30% of the German Army was ever deployed on the Western Front and that it mainly consisted of second line troops, training divisions, luftwaffe personnel and men previously declared unfit for combat. Don't believe the hype about D-Day. In the West we are told it's the decisive battle of the European war in WW2. Not true for one second. When I didn't know any better I thought D-Day was decisive too.
