The Universe implodes from the sudden injection of magic.
To elaborate: D-Day failing does not win Germany the war, it merely extends the day of German defeat and ensures the Soviet Union makes more territorial gains. For all the planning, effort, and resource the Western Allies put into D-Day, the only realistic failure (IE: the assault waves get wiped out and a beach head is never established) does not change the fact that Germany is already losing the war. The Western Allies would still have total dominance over the air and sea and still have large numbers of ground forces available to them and even already fighting Germany on the land (the Italian Front).
On the other end of Europe, the Russians are no longer the inept bumblers they were in 1941 and early-42. Three years of war, lend-lease, and total industrial mobilization of the USSR's resources had turned the Red Army into a massive, well-armed, well-led, well-motivated, and experienced Juggernaut that out-and-out annihilated the German forces in its path during the Summer of 1944. Ultimately, they were halted by their own supply difficulties after huge and rapid advances more then German resistance.
The Germans, in the meanwhile, are still suffering from constant raw material and fuel shortages, regular strategic bombing raids, a manpower situation that is only a few hundred thousand casualties away from rock bottom, and (of course) the utter madness that Hitler has driven himself into by '44. With such disparity in strength, Germany's downfall even after successfully repelling D-Day is just a matter of time.

Why did blitzkrieg fail?
It didn't fail. It was a smashing success. Germany lost the war anyway, but not because blitzkrieg failed. The Western Allies did not utilize this style of warfare as effectively as Germany, but the USSR did. Probably the most successful blitzkrieg was carried out by the Russians against the Japanese in Manchuria at the end of the war.
What if D-Day had failed?
If D-Day would have failed the Allies wouldv'e withdrawn their troops from the beaches, and would have to find another way to defeat Germany. As for the paratroopers, they knew they're would be no escape if the beach landings failed. They may have foughten their way to the beach, and may or may not have been rescued. Otherwise, they wouldv'e been killed or captured. Hope this helps! -Josh

*1 Germany's influence outside Europe was weak. *2 The English-speaking countries claimed to be fighting on behalf of mankind and all decent people everywhere. Germany had nothing to set against this and was loathed. *3 Germany was unable to co-ordinate the actions of its allies. Italy invaded Greece without consulting Germany, was soundly beaten, then appealed to Germany for help. Germany failed to persuade the Japanese to attack the Soviet Union in the Far East. Instead, the Japanese decided to go straight for the jackpot. Joncey
Why did Germany postpone the invasion of England?
It was unable to meet its initial goals, the things it considered to be prerequisites to the invasion. The main one was the destruction of the Royal Air Force, this failed and Germany could not establish air superiority. Shortly after the Battle of Britain, the Allies began a push to liberate Western Europe, gradually pushing German forces back and ending any chance of an invasion against Great Britain itself.
