Would working German radar make D-Day harder?

A brief counterfactual asks whether German radar detecting the paradrop earlier would add to the Allied difficulties.

Question

Would functioning German radar have made D-Day much harder by detecting the airborne landings earlier?

Short answer

It would certainly not make D-Day easier for the Allies; no detailed estimate is offered.

Notes

The question assumes working German radar would detect the paradrop earlier. The brief answer agrees that this would make the operation no easier for the Allies, without estimating the size of the effect.
