Why were Germans surprised by allied invasion at Normandy?
The Germans expected the invasion at the Pas de Calais, the narrowest part of the English Channel. Normandy was at one of the widest parts of the Channel, just barely within range of aircraft based in England to provide support to the invaders. There was no large port near Normandy. The Germans knew that a modern army needs tons of supplies every day to keep operating. To get these ashore a port was needed, so the Germans expected the landings near some sizable port city, all of which they had heavily defended. The Allies mounted a disinformation campaign, called Operation Fortitude, to fool the Germans about where the attack would come. This sought to reinforce the Germans belief that the landings would come at the Pas de Calais. So successful was this that Hitler continued to believe for weeks after the Normandy landings that they were only a diversionary attack, and that the main blow would yet come at the Pas de Calais. Believing this Hitler kept strong Germans forces waiting for this attack which never came, forces which, if sent to Normandy, might have succeeded in driving the Allied invaders back into the sea.
Where is Omaha Beach?
Omaha Beach was one of the designated landing beaches in Normandy France during WWII. Omaha Beach was the code name for one of the main landing points of the Allied invasion of German-occupied France in the Normandy landings on June 6 1944, during World War II. The beach was located on the northern coast of France, facing the English Channel, and was 5 miles (8 km) long, from (coming from the sea) east of Sainte-Honorine-des-Pertes to west of Vierville-sur-Mer on the right bank of the Douve river estuary. Landings here were necessary in order to link up the British landings to the east with the American landing to the west at Utah beach, thus providing a continuous lodgement on the Normandy coast of the Bay of the Seine.
What was D-Day and what happened on the day?
D - day signified a big change in WW2. D Day - the day that sealed the fate of Hitler's occupation of Europe in World War 2. The day that eventually saw 175,000 American, British, French, Polish, Norwegian, Dutch and Canadian troops land on the fields and beaches of Normandy, France. D Day was the term used by the Allied Forces for the landings and it was on6th June 1944 when, at 6.30am, troops came ashore to establish a foothold in France from which they could fight the German forces to move further inland. The Normandy landings (Operation Neptune) were part of the larger Operation Overlord. The D Day landings came in two parts, namely the airborne assault of 24,000 troops after midnight, and the seaborne, amphibious landings of the armoured and infantry divisions. The Normandy landings occured on five areas of the coast which were known as Gold, Juno, Sword, Omaha and Utah which stretched along a 50 miles (80 kms) of the French coast. The Allied decoy operations (Operations Glimmer and Taxable) successfully led the German forces to believe that the main invasion would take place further up the coast near Calais.
What would have happened had D-Day been lost?
Western Allies (Britain, US, etc) wouldn't have landed in Europe. By June 1944 (the D-Day Landings), the Soviet Union (Russia) was aleady approaching the German's front door.
