驻守诺曼底的德军,直到1944年6月10日还认为有可能将盟军进攻部队赶入大海。当天晚上,英军和美军成功地加强了各自的据点,使之成为一个延伸的桥头堡。此后,除非遇到强大的反攻,盟军将免受攻击或遭败北之灾。德军如果不调集驻守在法国各地的部队,就无力发动这样的反攻,而盟军已下定决心阻止德军这样做。 The Germans stationed at Normandy until June 10, 1944, also thought it possible to drive the Allied forces off into the sea. That night, the British and U.S. troops successfully strengthened their positions to make it an extended bridgehead. Thereafter, the coalition forces will be protected from attack or defeat unless they encounter a powerful counter-offensive. The Germans would not be able to launch such counterattacks unless they mobilized troops stationed in various parts of France, and the Allies had made up their mind to prevent the Germans from doing so.
