Why was George s Patton give command of a fake army before d-day invasion?
The Allies set up a fake base so any Nazi spy would think that the invasion would happen in another place than Normandy. Patton really was working with command on the invasion at the base they were going to invade from. The fake base idea worked because the Germans didn't have Normandy beach as well armed as they could have had.
Why were the germans surprised on d-day?
The German Military, for the most part, did not expect the Allied invasion to land at the widest part of the English Channel, Normandy. They expected (again, for the most part, not entirely) the invasion was more likely to come at the Pas de Callais, the shortest point of the English Channel and therefore the shortest distance between France and England. This prompted German forces toreinforce the French beachhead at the Pas De Callais with much more men, supplies, defenses and defense positions than in Normandy. Only German General Rommel, placed in command of Normandy shortly before the D-Day invasion, suspected the Allied attack on the Normandy beachhead. There was not enough time, though, to reinforce Normandy to his liking.
Who planned the d day invasion?
A committee and planning staff led by British General Morgan planned it for almost 3 years before it happened.
