Probably the most important thing about the D Day landings was the fact that initially the Germans thought that it was a feint, a diversion. The deception was that the Germans were deceived into believing the Allies would land in the Pas de Calais region. FUSAG (First US Army Group) was a ficticious formation created to divert attention into SE England. Bombing & destruction of strategic points in France prevented the Germans from bringing reserve formations to the Normandy area. The failure of the Dieppe Raid in 1942 had shown the capture of an intact French port was highly unlikely, therefore the establishment of 2 artificial harbours, called Mulberries, was essential. Although 1 was destroyed in a storm the Allies were supplied by the use of the Mulberry for many months.
