I'm convinced that if Rommel would have gotten his armored battalions he might have pushed the allies off of at least a couple of the beaches.

Totally agree. I know the Allies got some Shermans on shore but there is no way Shermans had the armour or firepower to deal with what could have been waiting for them had the Germans mobilized their armour.
AND they were very lucky with the war of the Pacific. One squadron of American bombers caught the Japanese carrier group with their pants down (munitions lying all over the deck) that resulted in the sinking of all remaining Japanese carriers and basically elminating any chance they had of winning the war.
So. Frickin. Lucky.
