Misdirection. Make the Axis powers believe that the attack is comming further north and on a different day. The Allies landed at Normandy. The Germans expected the invasion to occur at Pa-de-Calias, which is further East (or East-North-East). == The Allies landed at 5 beaches. They were to push inland and capture the towns and bridges that would prevent German re-inforcements from arriving. The Allied paratroopers went in early to assist in taking some of these key objectives early and hold for the infantry to arrive. After the Allies had secured the beaches and brought in re-inforcements, the Americans would move West to drive the Germans out of the pennisular and the British and Canadian would move east to take some of the major cities.
