Firstly can I apologise if this has been covered before. I searched but couldn't find anything.
Ok, so lets say that a combination of poor communication on the allies side and better German preparation led to the Allies being kicked off of Normandy before the invasion got going.
I doubt they would leave it there and would find somewhere else at some other time to launch a similar invasion. The cost of letting the Soviets have a free run at Europe was obviously too risky.
But what is possibly the best result for the Axis? Could they defend the Atlantic wall enough to deter a second D-Day whilst holding off the Russians? Or was defeat inevitable either way?
