The Nazis thought the Allied Forces would invade at the Calais point of France. They were only partially prepared for them to land in Normandy and they certainly did not expect the force to be so large and impressive. Rommel, their commander was absent and this created chaos amongst the German soldiers. Within months the Allied Forces had been victorious in France and other places. The Generals realized the war was lost. Hitler however lived in denial.

How was this invasion different from Germany's invasion of Poland?

China had no alliances with any Western country, so the Japanese invaded China with impunity.
