Not the same actually. If Lee wins at Gettysburg you can bet your ass that most of the support for the war disappears and Lincoln is forced by Congress to end the war. Only way the Union has a chance of winning at that point is if he gives Grant command of the army, get's Grants troops east ASAP(which also leaves the Western Theater basically open to the Confederates but the war is to be decided in the east and not the west in this scenario.) and hope to god that Grant is able to beat Lee badly enough that Lee is forced to surrender then and there. Meanwhile even if the Germans somehow won at Normandy it buys them a few months at best since they still have the Soviets in the east and the Italian Front in the south.
