Overlord was decided and committed to at the Trident conference in the US, 6 or 9 months before Tehran. That is when the postponement to 44 was decided. Due mainly to lack of supplies.

No. Overlord was promised and planned before. It was continually postponed. The decisions necessary to start were made in Teheran.

In many countries it is taught in schools that allies were simply taking their time, waiting for the lowest risk/highest return moment. That is one version.
