Why did the Germans believe you would cross the English Channel at Calais?
The Germans believed the Allies would cross the English Channel at Calais because it was the shortest and most direct route from Britain to France, making it a logical target for an invasion. Additionally, Calais was heavily fortified, and the Allies had conducted extensive deception operations, including misinformation campaigns, to suggest that this was the intended landing site. This led the Germans to concentrate their defenses there, ultimately diverting resources away from other potential landing areas like Normandy. Their misjudgment contributed significantly to the success of the D-Day invasion in June 1944.

Why was the landing at Utah beach easier than at Omaha?
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.

Who took the German positions at pas de calais in 1945?
the German forces were expecting an allied landing at the Pas de Calais in the summer of 1945 and maintained a strong force in that area.

Why did the Allied planners choose Normandy for the cross-channel invasion of Fortress Europe What did they do to confuse the Germans?
The Germans expected the Alllies to land at Calais which would have been more strategic but Eisenhower knew this and so dummies were sent to Calais to divert men away from Normandy. The Germans expected the Allies to cross the channel at the shortest route, which would be at Pas de Calais. Previous attempt to land in France was targeted at a port city. The Allies instead decided to land on an open beach that was not near any port or city. They designed a floating port that would help them land the materials necessary to support the army until they could capture the port at Cherbourg. The Allies tried to decieve the Germans into believing that the landing had to be at Pas de Calais. That included bombing the area. On the day of the landings, they dropped dummy paratroopers(no, not stupid paratroopers, but dummy models of them). There were many other tricks that were used to mislead the Germans as to where the landings would be.
