Why were the D-Day landings Successful?
Because the Germans were led to believe that the invasion was taking place elsewhere, so their forces were spread thin at Normandy. Also, the German defenses relied on armored divisions held in reserve, who were to be sent into the battle where needed. The Germans were so sure that the landing would occure at Pas de Calias, that the needed armored units were not released. Before they could be sent, Hitler had to approve the order. Another reason for the success was due to the failure of the landings at Dieppe a few years earlier. This failure taught the Allies how to plan and prepare and support an invasion. They planned every aspect of the invasion from air cover, naval support, logistical support and even the special equipment needed to punch through the "Atlantic Wall" defenses.
