I'm afraid not. Had Britain (not merely England) been occupied by
Germany, there is no way that the U.S. could have gotten at Europa.
The army was green, the landing craft not yet produced, and the only
aircraft capable of attacking Europa from the U.S. was the B-36, which
couldn't have survived German air defenses and probably wouldn't have
made the slightest difference if it had.
There was no aircraft capable of attacking Europe from the US during WWII.
The B-36 didn't achieve even nominal operational status until November 1948,
it wasn't truly operational until 1952. However, had the B-36 been
operational ten years earlier, there was nothing German air defenses could
have done to stop it.
