Why did the Germans not believe you would invade Normandy?
The Germans knew that the Allies were going to invade at some time. The difficulty was in determining WHERE they were going to make their landing. The coastline of France was very large which made it difficult to defend. Through use of deception by the Allies, the German high command was convinced that the best location for the landing was Pas-de-Calias, which was the best port city that was shortest distance from England. A few years earlier, England launched a raiding force that landed in Dieppe, which was defeated. The concept then was that the landing force had to immediately capture a port city so that supplies could be brought in to support the attacking troops. However, Normandy was no where near a city port. They landed in a wide-open beach and they brought their own docks. Then their plan was to spread out and capture the port cities at Cherbourg and others along the coast. This did not fit into the German's theory that the Allies would have to land very close to a port city.

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.
