What if d-day had failed?

what do you think would have happened if D-Day had not succeded? would the Allies still have won? would the Soviets continued to push forward into france if they took Germany? would allied forces in Italy have managed to continue the push upwards?these are some serious questions!

The Allies still would have won and taken France. You seem to forget that later we landed in Southern France.

The Allies still would have taken France it just would have been much harder to do.

War might have lasted a year longer. Your grammar could use some serious improvement. Use the spell check.

Sorry about the capitalization.

yeah, the Germans were very weak, we would of just attack another part of France.

The Allies were weak too! the British’s army was kind of pitiful. Dad’s Army and fourteen-year-olds. and if it had failed , the Allies would have taken a crippling blow, probably making the war last longer.

Germany would have wound up nuked.

No they would not have.

One theory is that Jews would not exist as of today due to Nazis.
Another theory is what everyone else said.

France would have been abandoned by the Germans as Soviets from the East and Allies from the South.

You forgot that the SOE and the french resistance were running a secret war behind enemy lines in france. France would be retaken without anyone realising it was free.

Stop watching old 80’s drama’s that claimed our armies were “Weak”, It’s an un-needed steriotype.

Maybye the Home Front, but most of the British Army was relatively well trained and equipped.

Yes it does.

The Free French forces were a joke. They bungled whatever they got involved in.

Free French forces were in Africa.

Yeah germany would have been nuked. That might of saved Hiroshima and Hiroshima or Kokura (kitakyushu) if a different time was chosen. But then again Americans were still mad about Pearl Harbor.

The soviets would have taken Berlin a few months later than they did in reality, and the iron curtain would engulf west germany as well as east. The German economy would be screwed like those in eastern europe, and so by now they’d have a GDP per capita only a bit higher than that of most eastern european countries.

Also, because they’d get all the german technology after WW2, including rocket scientists like Wernher Von Braun, they’d probably get space rockets and ICBMs years ahead of the US. This would mean they’d probably put a man on the moon before NASA could, but capitalism would probably still triumph, so in the 70s a man would land on mars and win the space race. (probably at a vastly bigger cost than the apollo missions, around 10x as much).

Now, depending on who won with the spying this time around, i don’t know how the 50s would turn out:
Maybe NATO would take ICBM tech from the soviets while the rosenburgs and others nicked bomb plans, and the cold war would work out as it did.

Maybe the soviets would keep ICBMs and get nukes, and so mutually assured destruction wouldn’t be a working strategy – by now we’d all be radioactive dust.

Maybe NATO would get ICBMs and keep the nukes, which would mean the US was the only superpower in the world even in the 50s, and the cold war would never happen. Communism would collapse decades earlier, and we’d probably get world peace and nuclear disarmament by now :)

If we didn’t win D-Day, then nothing would be different, except we would ask what if we had won D-Day. If you change the past, you destroy the universe, because then you never go back in time to change the past, so it happens, so you go back, so it doesn;t, so you don’t go back, and it’s a paradox.

No, no and no. Braun ran away before the USSR could ever catch up with him. I find your post to inaccurate and annoying. Do more research next time.

So generally the US would have won anyways and the present would only be slightly brighter or darker than now. Wtf hacker!

Anyone see nuking Germany as a possibility? No? Ah :(
