Americans, being an insouciant people, are unaware that it was Russians, not England's Wellington, who defeated Napoleon. The Grande Army did not return from Russia. The loss broke the back of French military power.

The allied invasion of Normandy encountered only a few under-strength German units deprived of fuel. The German army and all available resources were on the Russian front.
