Yes, because the evacuation from Dunkirk saved 338,226 soldiers [British & French]. Although a massive amount of equipment was lost, Dunkirk was probably Hitler's greatest mistake next to attacking Russia because if he had pressed home his attack he would have as good as wiped-out the army and destroyed morale. The saving of so many soldiers, against all the odds, gave a massive boost to morale in Britain - a boost that was never to be lowered, even during the blitz. Factually, Hitler snached defeat from the jaws of victory because it would have been imposible for Britain to replace so many men - the majority of whom were battle hardened. Let's be clear about this: Dunkirk was a defeat for the British & French, and wars are not won by defeat. But Churchill made much of the 'Miracle' of Dunkirk and indeed it seemed that it was a momentous action. Hitler was cautious about overstretchng the power of his panzer forces & knew that he still needed to defeat France as a whole. Nonetheless Operation Dynamo is one of the greatest escapes in History, a great credit to the armada of little ships that brought the troops home in great numbers against the odds.

Not Overload. It was Operation Overlord.

The invasion of French North Africa was Operation Torch, and the invasion of Sicily was Operation Husky, etc., and they had a D-Day too.

If Operation Overload was not a success the allies would have been pushed back into the ocean and the invasion of Normandy would've failed.The whole point of Operation Overload was to send so many troops that it would have been nearly impossible to not take the beach,but it turned out that the US and british lost very many men. France would not have been liberated and the Allied Forces might have lost the war since France was a vital point for Hitler and his troops.
The primary purpose of Operation Overload was to open pathways into the country. The targets were the northern and western fronts.
