Kursk, enough said.

No. The original plan wasn't bad at all. Keep the initiative, lop off a salient to shorten the lines, bag another few hundred thousand POWs, show who's boss, etc.

Problem started when the Sovs understood where the attack was going to fall, decided to make a stand and screw the Germs with a counter-offensive. We know the rest of the story

After thinking more about this, I would have to say it would the US landing at Omaha. Casualties at the landing could've have been minimized if the planners had done a few things differently. Fortunately in the end, the landing was successful but at a heavy price.

Companies that landed at the "right" beaches were almost wiped out to a man. These were the units that landed right in front of the fortified draws.
But the units that landed in the "wrong" sectors barely suffered any casualties and made it off the beach in good order. They had accidently landed away from the fortified draws.

Also US Army planners in Europe disregarded the advice from veterans of amphibious landings in the Pacific Theater. The attitude was that Europe was the big league while the Pacific was the boondocks.

Not really a dumb 'attack',but a dumb 'defense'. Hitler shouldn't have ordered German Troops to stand fast in Normandy. He should have authorized units to retreat and get organized. Another of Hitlers dumb orders was to make the Panzers under his control only. That pretty much made the outcome of Overlord inevitable.

the most dumbest attack would be where the soviets used dogs to blow up tanks lets say they didnt go for the germans.
