The key to winning war is have your biggest enemies fighting each other. Thus having the russians fight the americans would have been in the best interests of hitler. Once Russia and the states wipe each other out, hiter can simply walk through and take over. Very simple really.

Anyway, on the eastern front there were 3 army groups. North Centre and South. Of course you can't have one army covering the whole area. Thats just not logistically possible. Each army had different objectives.

As for more troops on the West front, if hitler had taken from the eastern front, he wouldn't have lasted long. They should ahve activated the Panzer division near normandy, and the germans would ahev had a better chance.

Anyway, theres a paratrooper saying that fits the assault on the west well.

"When Hitler built his Atlantic wall, he forgot to put a roof on it."
