THE SECRET OF D-DAY
Gilles Perrault the author of The Secrete of D-Day refers to Operation Fortitude as the greatest Allies' triumph. It involved deception, the feeding of misleading information to the Nazis. It ensured the success of D-Day landings, which led the way to Hitler's defeat in the Second World War. Behind the amazing success of D-Day was the most sophisticated deception plot ever arranged. The objective was to persuade the enemy that the long expected landings would take place in the northern part of the French coast ( Pas-de-Calais). Making the attack in Normandy just a diversion that could be safely ignored. Hitler had been aware that the American Allies would eventually mount a cross channel invasion. In 1942, American generals wanted to cross the channel and the British had refused the proposal. General Eisenhower declared that the British refusal "could well go down as the blackest day in history". Eisenhower later realized that such attack would have been a failure.

He was recruited because his resemblance to Montgomery, he had many long conversations with the general to familiarize himself with every aspect of Montgomery's actions. The absence of this sentence meant that he was transmitting under German control. Frederic Leon Donnet was French national hero. Before departing from London, the radio operator Hubert Lauwers was instructed to give up his secret code if caught. The Germans also learned that General Eisenhower appointed General Patton in command of the Third Army (the invented US Army Group). In January 1944, Eisenhower and Churchill nominated Bernard L. When the invasion began, the Germans should logically assumed that Bradley's First Army was only making a phony attack in Normandy while Patton was waiting to strike the main assault in Pas-de-Calais. But when asked about Operation Fortitude, they followed Churchill's comment as to not being proper to disclose the secrets.
