We had another alternative that was successful. It would have split Hitler’s forces in France.

Interesting link. The fact remains that it would have been impossible to successfully invade France anywhere - no matter how many thrusts you tried - if the Germans knew when and where those thrusts would strike, in advance. An opposed landing is difficult; an expected opposed landing is impossible without a tremendous advantage in numbers/materiel.
