I know it was a though one. Not even the German had the exact spot where the invasion would be. The Allied had given the German false and lots of it, indication that the invasion would take place in Calais. To give the German spies some bait they, the allied even but false tanks and other equipment around dover.
The German also knew that a certain messages from London would indicate that the invasion could take place in the next 24 hours.
To say it easy almost every German General toke the bait and put a lot of it's resource around Calais. What I know and remember from books and the Longest Day, only 1 General was convinced that the allied woul use Normandie.
If I refrained my first post and instead I give you this.
It's June 9th you are the highest German general for Western Europe you are given the chance to go back to June 5th Noon, to fix the failure you have done.
So what's your give, what would you have done different?
Same for Ike.
