From the July 27, 2010, New Deal 2.0 by Wallace C. Turbeville.
The German military had better weapons. Their tanks were larger and had greater firepower. Their individual solder's weapons were better. Even their air force had technical advantages. The German staff was equal to that of the Allies.
The decisive event was the Allied breakout in the weeks following D-Day which had higher casualties than the invasion itself. This breakout was achieved by using less experienced soldiers, inferior planes and tanks.
The United States simply outproduced the Axis machine and overwhelmed them with quantity.
The same thing happened in the Pacific to the Japanese. The US could replace all their losses and Japan could not.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
