The most sophisticated deception to convince the enemy that the long awaited landings would take place in the Pas-de-Calais, and that any attack on Normandy would be a small diversionary feint. Bogus reports dummy radio traffic, inflatable tanks, balsa wood bombers were just some of the devices created to confirm this deception. With an introduction by Nigel West.
