Cause even if D-Day would have failed the Allies would have tried it again and again, the Germans were spread too thin because of Barbarossa and Africa. You can't win a two-front war, I doubt the Soviets would have invaded Europe during Sealion but thats what Hitler feared.
If D-Day would have failed, (an operation which took years of planning ) what makes you think that it would be tried again and again? The allies wouldnt even have time for a nother one, as the Red Army would be crossing Poland and be at Germany's doorstep by this time.

There were no troops in African by this time.
