How did the british trick the Germans into thinking they were going to land in calais in World War 2?
A lot of intelligence went into Operation Fortitude. This was a huge undertaking to deceive the Nazis into believing the main force of Allies would land at the Pas de Calais. It involved staging dummy tanks and planes on the English coastline to fool the Germans into thinking the Allies were building up to make an all out attack. The Operation involved double agents, fake telegraphy messages, a phony movement of some of the allied warriors and many other details. They also tried to get the Germans to think they would also land at Norway. See the link below for a great article on the deceptive operation.

The Germans believed that the D-day landing would land on a different beach to the West of where it actually took place. Around the peninsula that jets out of Northern France. The allies even used fake tanks to fool the Germans into thinking an invasion was taking place there.

Yes, they did not anticipate where the invasion would take place, not enough land was covered by their troops. They also thought that Dday would be postponed due to weather.
