What if the allies had invaded Nazi occupied Norway instead of Normandy?

It would simply delay the main game. At best it is another Sicily with the Germans conducting a fighting withdrawal to the south. It is not the road to Berlin.
 
Operation Jupiter (IIRC) would not have given the Allies the same advantages - it would have been an operational success, probably, but not a strategic one.
 
Not really a great idea. I mean just like Italy you end up with a narrow front that takes forever to break, and after that the allies still have to cross into Denmark, forcE there way across another narrow front which is on Germanys doorstep, result mass casulties for very limited gain.
