This is why I see D-Day not so much as the end of WW2, but the first battle of the Cold War; it wasn't necessary for the defeat of Germany, but it did ensure that western Europe was liberated by the western allies, instead of by the USSR, which I'm very thankful for.

No. Very few people were happy with the German occupation. Many occupied countries had very active resistance movements. The only people who were happy with the German occupation were fascist collaborators.
The western allies gave the countries they liberated their freedom and autonomy back. Neither Germany nor the USSR did that, and that matters a lot.
