Hitler was lead to believe that the invasion would come across the channel at the narrowest point. There had been fake armies set up all along that section of coast. Lancaster's bombers had been flying in circles over the channel moving the circles very slowly forward so that it looked like a fleet of ships crossing the channel on the radar at this point. Then there had been that fatal trial run at Dieppe which convinced Hitler that Normandy was only a faint and that the real attack would be some where in the narrows.
