No, the Germans continued fighting and attempted offensive measures.

D-Day (June 6, 1944) began the Allied liberation of Western Europe and was a decisive turning point, but it did not produce an immediate German surrender. German forces continued to resist, launched counterattacks (most notably the Ardennes/”Battle of the Bulge” in December 1944), and fought on both the Western and Eastern Fronts until unconditional surrender in May 1945. D-Day weakened and ultimately helped end Germany’s ability to pursue ambitions in Europe, but that outcome unfolded over the following year rather than immediately.
