Operation Bodyguard - the D-Day Deception Part 3 of 5

Operation Overlord, the 1944 Allied invasion of Western

Europe, culminated from five years of armed struggle

against the Axis juggernaut. But the odds seemed stacked

against a successful storming of Hitler's awesome beach

defenses. To insure victory, the Allies convinced Hitler that

the invasion would take place at Pas de Calais. This

Documentary examines the elaborate system of hoax and

deception devised by the Allies to trick the Nazis--including

fake armies, dummy landing craft, and false intelligence.

Quite Interesting!
