The main reason would be that the Germans didn't exactly know

were the invasion was going to be, so they created the Atlantic

wall which was from cherboug to Calais's, but because the Germans

thought they would be landing in Calais they had most of there

defences up there. but along the coast of Normandy they still had

defenses and just simply had more at Omaha beach.
