As I understand the beaches landed on were not even considered the heaviest concentration of defense.
That I can’t fathom.
Certain parts of the southern coastline were more heavely defended than where they landed?
I think they landed in a wall of hell. And that was one of the safer spots to land?
And Hitler had to be tricked to even thin out where they did land.
Wow.

Allies faked a invasion of Calais coast German fell for it.
Hitler also refused a number of suggestion to defend Normandy from his top generals most notably Erwin Rommel wanting to move more Tank division into range of the coast Hitler refused and kept them in Paris.

Allies played Hitler incompetence / ego quite well.

America took it the hardest on Normandy, Canada got very lucky just a few miles down the beach.
