Because the Germans were led to believe that the invasion was taking place elsewhere, so their forces were spread thin at Normandy. Also, the German defenses relied on armored divisions held in reserve, who were to be sent into the battle where needed. The Germans were so sure that the landing would occure at Pas de Calias, that the needed armored units were not released. Before they could be sent, Hitler had to approve the order. Another reason for the success was due to the failure of the landings at Dieppe a few years earlier. This failure taught the Allies how to plan and prepare and support an invasion. They planned every aspect of the invasion from air cover, naval support, logistical support and even the special equipment needed to punch through the "Atlantic Wall" defenses.

Why didn't they bomb the beaches on D-Day during World War 2?
Anti tank and aircraft guns. (anti tank guns could be easily converted to anti aircraft) It would been relatively pointless. Omaha beach along with all the beaches on DDAY were meant to be bombed prior to the landings but with the large amount of smoke (caused my grass fires) from the naval bombardment allied pilots could not properly identify their targets. To avoid the risk of dropping bombs short on the landing craft nearing the beaches the loads were dropped behind the beach head causing little to no damage. Utah beach was effectively bombed prior to the landings providing decent cover to troops which in turn lead to lighter casualties. This was one of the major failures on DDAY considering the size of the air strike and the planning that went into it.
