Surprise being the first and main one. The Germans expected us to land at Pas-da-Calais. We had General Patton commanding a fake Army group across from that area to fool them. The actual German commander(Rommel) wasn't even at his command post when we landed on the beaches, he was with his wife. Utah beach wasn't as heavily defended as Omaha was. It could have been alot worse had Rommel had his way. No panzer divisons were close to the beach, that helped us out tremendously. Even after we landed, the German high command didn't believe it was the real landings. Their stupidity helped us out.

The beaches of Normandy. :)
The Americans landed at the western end of Normandy on Omaha and Utah Beaches, and in large numbers of paratroops just inland from the beaches.
I believed the british and canadians stormed the Normandy beaches at Gold, Sword and Juno..........................
at June 6th 1944 Allied troops attacked beaches at Normandy at June 6th 1944 Allied troops attacked beaches at Normandy
Britain was not attacked. They were the ones doing the attacking as they landed on the beaches in Normandy, France. Their opposition was the Germans.
The beaches were divided up into where the United States were attacking and where the British were going to attack. The United States beaches were Utah beach and Omaha beach. The British beaches were called Gold beach, Juno beach, and Sword beach. These are all code names for different parts of Normandy. Normandy is the whole beach and these other names are just parts to invade.
the Normandy beaches assaulted by the allies on D day were: gold juno sword utah omaha

The Normandy beaches in France are the most popular but i prefer the ones near lyon sur mer
The day of the massive invasion of the beaches at Normandy is known as D-Day.
British and a few French Marines stormed the Normandy beaches. There were no US Marines, they were too busy in the Pacific.
