That’s probably enough plastic to build a 1:1 scale version of both armies 😉

You’re probably going to need the theatre and army specific books (if you don’t have them already).
With D-day as your focus those would be :

– Armies of Germany (2nd edition) : generic lists covering the entire war

– Armies of America : ditto for the USA

– Battleground Europe – D-day to Berlin (D-day themed in more detail)

– (optional)  Campaign : Battle of the Bulge

– (optional) Campaign : Operation Market Garden

– (optional) Campaign : Road to Berlin

Warlord also sell the Osprey series of historical books if you want a bit more detail. I got a few of their DAK themed books which cover the basics from uniform to actual formations.
I’m sure the more dedicated historical gamers on this forum can give you a list of interesting books.
