Because we counterintelligenced hitler to think we were going to invade somewhere else by dressing up a dead hobo in an officers uniform with bogus documents detailing fake plans and planting his corpse on a beach in Italy.

Since you're obviously too lazy to open google in a new tab, here's the short of it:
We had aircraft. Plan was to bomb the beaches to both destroy fortifications and make ready made foxholes. The weather made this difficult, and the bombs were mostly dropped too late to do much good.
We had tanks, but most of them sank and remaining not ones got stuck moments after hitting the beach.

except they totally did see it coming. thus, the hundreds of machine gun nets and shit mowing our soldiers down as they landed on the beach?

Those were just standard defenses. The majority of their mobile assets were way the fuck away to repel the fake invasion.

The documents landed in Spain which was funny because they should have been neutral/friendly. Also the US and brits built about an entire division of blow up troops to trick German reconnaissance planes
