I don't know, it's pure speculation. I could bullshit my way along and say, "of course they could," but that would be dishonest. I really don't know. I seem to remember that there was some dissent on strategy between Ike and Monty but I'm not sure of the details. It's possible that without the US and Ike that the Normandy landings may never have taken place, let's be straight on this, it was a very bold tactic, and it may be that the Allies sans-US may have taken another path into Europe. But let's not forget that the Allies were also making their way up through Italy at that time and forcing the Germans back further into Europe. I don't know how that would have played on the minds of the planners sans-US.
Without having to fight the US on one side and the Russians on the other, Hitler could have thrown eveything at the Russians
The US was the deciding factor in WWII
France has forgotten that
