Demographic data shows that the casualties from the Holodomor were between 2-5 million. Anything higher or lower isn't supported by the evidence. This also includes the lesser known famine of 1948 (which was obviously not the fault of the Soviets).
No, it really wouldn't have. D-Day was launched against a very lightly defended sector of France where in some cases German defenders numbered less than 800 against 125,000 allied soldiers. Can you imagine trying to secure that beachhead against say 100,000 German mechanized and Panzer forces?
The US demonstrated quite clearly it was willing to use an atomic bomb to avert further American casualties. It would've been ready in time to use on Nazi Germany in this scenario.
What is your basis for this statement? Bolded above^^^
