German forces in Normandy, France
Most of the German generals had no plan for the invasion of Normandy. They were almost all fooled by the Allied strategy of building a fake army in Norfolk, apparently to attack Calais,far north of Normandy. Rommel was the only senior German who anticipated the attack in Normandy and he couldn't persuade his superiors of this. The heavily armed Omaha Beach was a product of Rommel's ingenuity.
Instead of at Normandy, at Calais, France.
