Question

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

The correct answer is: The Allies staged a fake attack at Calais.

They used Operation Bodyguard/Fortitude — fake radio traffic, inflatable tanks and landing craft, double agents and false intel — to convince the Germans the main invasion would hit Calais, so German forces were delayed from reinforcing Normandy.
