Where did the Germans believe that the D-day landing would take place?
The Germans believed that the D-day landing would land on a different beach to the West of where it actually took place. Around the peninsula that jets out of Northern France. The allies even used fake tanks to fool the Germans into thinking an invasion was taking place there.
How did the british trick the Germans into thinking they were going to land in calais in World War 2?
A lot of intelligence went into Operation Fortitude. This was a huge undertaking to deceive the Nazis into believing the main force of Allies would land at the Pas de Calais. It involved staging dummy tanks and planes on the English coastline to fool the Germans into thinking the Allies were building up to make an all out attack. The Operation involved double agents, fake telegraphy messages, a phony movement of some of the allied warriors and many other details. They also tried to get the Germans to think they would also land at Norway. See the link below for a great article on the deceptive operation.
How many codes were used in World War 2?
Countless. Each side had codes they used for common communications, as well as other codes for more classified information. Also, individual countries had their own too. Some codes were even used to fool the enemy, one example of which was D-Day. The allies used a poorly encrypted and easily decipherable code detailing non-existant military plans to trick the Germans.
How did the allies try to deceive the Germans of their plans for d-day?
This was actually very tricky of them. First of all it is important to know that the British had the best intelligence office in the world, and they had knowledge of every single German spy that infiltrated their ranks, but they didnt do anything about them, instead they used those German spies against Hitler and himself. While planning d-day, they had to make sure the Germans did not know the landing location, otherwise it would have been to heavily defended by German Troops. So the British mislead them by sending out hundreds of messages through the German spies about the location of d-day, in these messages were location like Italy, Turky, South-France and Scandinavia. Now comes the tricky part, they ON PURPOSE send out 1 message, just 1!!!, that the location would be Normandy, this message was (according to plan of course) intercepted by the Germans, but the wiseguys in command of the German forces did not believe this message, since there was tons of communication about other locations and only one about Normandy. The Germans were foolish enough to not see the trap and forgot about Normandy to reinforce other locations. The greatest part of the deception plan was probably FUSAG (The first US Army Group) nominally commanded by Patton, this was to cross the Channel from SE England to the Pas de Calais, the shortest, most obvious (& therefore the best defended) crossing point. Apparrently there is little substance of the Germans having any credible spying network in Britain in WW2. And, just to make it clear, FUSAG was entirely ficticious. The Allies used many different tactics in order to fool the Germans. First, they set up an entire fake army new Pas de Calais, in order to make the Germans think that that location would be the major landing point. They made inflatable boats, tanks, fake barracks, and also invited journalists to come write about the massive camp that was sent up. They also sent out fake messages that they knew the Germans would be able to decode, which made them think Pas de Calais was the real attack point. The night before the invasion, Allies sent out thousands of fake paratroopers all across the French coast, in order to cause chaos and panic in the German defenses. Some of these fake paratroopers even blew up on impact, which caused the Germans to believe they were being bombed as well as being invaded.

Why were Germans surprised by allied invasion at Normandy?
The Germans expected the invasion at the Pas de Calais, the narrowest part of the English Channel. Normandy was at one of the widest parts of the Channel, just barely within range of aircraft based in England to provide support to the invaders. There was no large port near Normandy. The Germans knew that a modern army needs tons of supplies every day to keep operating. To get these ashore a port was needed, so the Germans expected the landings near some sizable port city, all of which they had heavily defended. The Allies mounted a disinformation campaign, called Operation Fortitude, to fool the Germans about where the attack would come. This sought to reinforce the Germans belief that the landings would come at the Pas de Calais. So successful was this that Hitler continued to believe for weeks after the Normandy landings that they were only a diversionary attack, and that the main blow would yet come at the Pas de Calais. Believing this Hitler kept strong Germans forces waiting for this attack which never came, forces which, if sent to Normandy, might have succeeded in driving the Allied invaders back into the sea.
