I know that just across the river where I live is Nitro, WV a place named after the fact it produced explosives for WW2, and 10 miles from here is Ordnance Park also named for a plant that turned out ammunition and both could have easily been destroyed with a car bomb and the only local defenses was one AAA emplacement on the hill above Charleston.
So what I was getting at was if the US could not flex its industrial might, what would D-Day have looked like, or would it have even have happened.
As for Germany invading Russia, in my opinion that ranks in the top of Hitler's colossal blunders.

Read the previous post regarding what we think for this.
As for d-day without the americans, the combined allies without the americans would in my opinion still have been successful in the end, they still would have a minor air superiority over the germans(being engaged across three fronts) the british commonwealth and free french and polish troops as well as other countries engaged would still have pushed the germans back, just much slower then normal. WHy?
Because you could never cripple the american industry in the way you are proposing.
