Explanation:

Operation Overlord (the D-Day invasion) targeted Normandy, but German military leadership anticipated the Allies would invade the Pas-de-Calais region, which is farther north, due to deceptive Allied operations. Additionally, the invasion launched during poor weather, catching the Germans off guard as they did not expect an invasion in such conditions.

Answer:

• They expected the Allies to invade farther north.
• They did not think the Allies would invade in good weather.
