The English Channel or more precisely the Strait of Dover in English and Le Pas de Calais in French
They took a ferry between Dover, England and Calais, France, both of which had rail links by the mid 19th century. The "Golden Arrow" was a combined train and ferry route that connected Paris and London, by way of Dover and 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.
what route did the forces use to cross into France
The River Rhine.
