You really should check history again. You missed quite a bit there.

The Americans were there some time before 1944. Their bombing raids
were there, though not on the ground, for some time. They flew in the
day time, and the British flew at night.

It was the American production lines that supplied Britain, and also
Russia while they built up the invasion fleet, and held the line in
the Pacific as well.

America (as well as Canada) was supplying Britain as far back as 1938,
with ships and supplies.

As you may recall, there was ground war going on in Africa before
1944.

Some of my friends were in on the Normandy invasion, and would be
amused at your assertion that we had little to do with the downfall of
the Nazis.
