No matter how big the "war machine", they gotta cross the Channel. Depending on when the US enters the war, then that could be a major problem.
If there was no Channel, you're right. As it was, the German war machine was similarly overwhelming, vis-a-vis England, after France's fall, and couldn't get the job done. "More overwhelming" doesn't necessarily matter, unless T-34s have some kind of previously unknown swimming capability.
