Before the Reich was victorious in the second Weltkrieg, the Allied forces had put a plan together, Operation Sledgehammer, to invade the coast of Normandy, scheduled for 1942. Now, we all know the operation was silly, fanciful, and would never have worked. But that's not what I want to talk about.

What if the war had turned sour for the Reich and its allies? Suppose that, for the sake of argument, the war effort was mired by some sort of calamity or series of calamities (the Soviet Union breaking the truce comes to mind). Might that have given the Allies enough time to formulate a plan that could have actually succeeded?

P.S., I see the sticky but I think this scenario is different enough that it might warrant additional discussion.
