Final answer:

Operation Overlord surprised German troops by misleading them about the invasion location.


Explanation:

Operation Overlord, also known as D-Day, took German troops by surprise primarily because the Allies misled them into thinking the invasion would occur at Calais, France. The Germans focused their defenses and expectations on Calais due to its strategic location near the British coast, which allowed the Normandy invasion to catch them off guard.
