If Germany didn't have to tie down troops and resources in the West they would have been able to beat the USSR.

No, that was never true. Over 75% of the combat in the european part of World War Two was on the eastern front, the Germans never had a chance of beating the Soviet Union. Virtually all of the war materials manufacturing in Russia was out of range of German attack aircraft. The Russians drew them in until they were virtually exhausted, and then rolled them up. What is true is that the Russians would likely not have been able to enter Germany without the Western Front.

Those guns were moved there to reinforce the Atlantic Wall. No invasion was necessary to keep them there, and they'd not made a difference in any case. You really need to acquaint yourself with the actual logistics of the whole war, not just the opinion of one of the losers.
I've posted some of those stats before, shall I do so again?
