How did Allied forces surprise Axis forces at Normandy?

*The Allies staged a fake attack at Calais.
*The Allies staged a fake attack in Berlin.
*The Allies dropped bombs on other French locations.
*The Allies used a small force to attack.

Answer 1

They made it look like they were planning to launch an assault on Calais by putting up fake tanks and planes in Dover, which of course caused German High command to reinforce Calais, therefore making Normandy much weaker.

Answer 2

Allied forces surprised Axis forces at Normandy since the Allies staged a fake attack at Calais. Option A is correct.

The Western Allies of World War II launched the most amphibious invasion of all times when they assaulted Normandy, located on the northern coast of France, on 6 June 1944.

Allied land forces came from the United States, Britain, Canada, Polish forces and Free French forces.
