The Germans exhausted their forces in a major attack
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 allies tricke the Germans into spliting there force by sending a double agent to say they where going to land at Pas- de-Calais, which is closer to Engalnd
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.
first answer: the Germans never thought they would land in France, they thought they would land either in Italy or Africa. second correct answer: In World War 2, the Germans thought that when the Allies invaded France, that the Allies would choose to land at the Pas-de-Calais area. The Allies landed in the Normandy area instead. From the German point of view, the Pas-de-Calais area was the obvious choice. It was closer to England and the fastest way to invade Germany and seize the Ruhr industrial region.
The Germans were fooled into believing that the Allies would invade France across the narrowest part of the English Channel, to land in or near calais. The landing in Normandy, was initially viewed by the Germans as a diversion.

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.

The conflict of D-Day was basically that the Germans had occupied most of Europe and the Allies wanted Europe to be liberated. The Allies, Britain, USA, Canada and the British colonies then decided to invade France to defeat the Germans on land.
The Allies did not "control" countries like the Axis did. The Axis occupied countries because their goal was to control the government. The Allies liberated countries, meaning they set them free from Axis rule and back into their own control. When the Allies "lost" land, it meant that they were defending another country and the Germans took that country over. When, for example, the USSR "lost" land, it just means the Germans pushed them back.
mainly land fool! they had allot of land before. money fool!! because they had to ask America for help. you get me?
they were on a hill, and the allies had to come one by one on boats to get there, and then run uphill on land mined sand beaches, and the Germans had been already dug in for months waiting.
Turkey's debt was payed off with it's land lost and the conversion of the Ottoman Empire. The remaining Allies blamed the Germans for the war and most of the reparations were cost to them. They paid their debt off with their land and the Allies were satisfied with that.
Following WW1, Allied forces kept a blockade around German ports, so that they could not trade with other countries. This was done to force the Germans to sign the peace treaty at the end of the war- the treaty of Versailles. The Germans had to sign the treaty, or the blockade would not be lifted. If the blockade was not lifted, Germany would have run out of food. In the Treaty of Versailles, Germany was forced to pay large reparations to the Allies. Also, some of it's land was taken away. This was unfair to the Germans, who had surrendered because they thought that the Allies would use United States President Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points in the peace treaty.
