About This Item
(Subject: Intelligence, Espionage, Reconnaissance & Electronic Warfare) The story of how the British really won two world wars - British geniuses broke German secret codes and eavesdropped on their messages, captured German spies in Britain were used to send back false information to their controllers, and forged documents misled German Intelligence. To create a vital illusion of strength bogus wireless traffic from entire phantom armies, dummy airfields with balsa wood planes, disguised ships and inflatable rubber tanks were built. This spectacular misdirection was essential to the success of D-Day in 1944.
