Could the Germans have won in Normandy?
The short answer is yes, the Germans could possibly have defeated the invasion on D-Day. One needs to remember that the Allies had postponed the landings in France multiple times starting in 1942 to the general annoyance of Stalin in order to be pretty darn sure that they would succeed.
Why didn’t the allies send troops to the eastern front?
The Allies were supplying the Russians during the war but that was for the Soviet War effort. If Allied troops were deployed into the Eastern Front then the ships used would have to be used instead to supply the Allied troops. Secondly and more importantly Stalin did not want foreign troops on Russian soil.
