Post; Overlord: Would it have been successful without an Eastern Front?

I am reading Max Hastings "Overlord". It makes it plain that the Germans put up a tremendous defence considering they were outgunned, outnumbered, with no Luftwaffe, OKW nuttered by Hitler, most of their best units tied up or destroyed in Russia. Could the Allies have invaded Europe successfully without the Russian Front or would the Germans, particularly their SS Panzer Groups have given us another belting and thrown us back into the sea?
