Best Answer

The German strategy was to repel the invasion, but as that became impossible, the Germans were trying to limit the invasion to the Normandy peninsula which to a large degree was pinned down in the tough 'bocage' country. The Germans were outnumbered in the West, they needed to defend Normandy to prevent the inevitable defeat which would be caused by a foe increasing in men and material.
