The DD tanks at Omaha were deployed too far out from coast which, coupled with the rough seas, saw them sink. At Sword beach they were much more effective as deployed closer to shore. The loss of their support definitely made things tougher.

It's arguable that Germany was always going to lose the war the moment the UK held it's nerve and didn't surrender in May 1940. They couldn't win at that point.
