The Germans expected the invasion to be at the Pais de Calais on the Northern coast of France.

Deception through Operation Fortitude helped lead the Germans to this thought. This famous operation included the creation of fake tanks, radio traffic, and other fake military equipment. False information was leaked to the Germans so they would anticipate a diversion by allied forces.

This plan worked extremely well. German Panzers were held in reserve upon the invasion of Normandy for the "real" invasion at Calais. northern france
