Also you don't land and drop all you forces onto one area. The allies needed to capture the causeways to move troops inland and to stop any reenforcements moving foward. Also it was one of the least defended areas, Hitler had Rommel defending Normady. Why have an armor commander defending a beachhead, you'd be setting up the perfect area for an enemy to speirhead into.
