As you all know Stalin demanded a second front in Europe. In 1944 the Anglo-American forces launched Operation Overlord and landed in Pas de Calais. It is a know fact that there was a lot of debate about whether or not to invade in Normandy instead. It would have been more more difficult logistics wise but it was not as well defended as Calais.
As you all know Calais had the heaviest defences in the Atlantik Wall and the subsequent allied landings were a massacre thanks to Rommel's quick thinking and a bunch of low clouds drifting in during the landings, taking away allied air superiority. Germany still lost the war after the nuking of Munich and Nuremburg and Soviet ranks on the Oder close to eastern Germany though.
What would have happened if the allies had landed in Normandy and/or without that pesky cloud cover drifting in right when the landings were taking place or an accurate weather forecast?
