Скачать или смотреть Operation Fortitude: How Britain Fooled Hitler's Entire Intelligence Network

In 1944, Britain pulled off one of the most audacious deception operations in military history—and *Operation Fortitude* worked so well that it shaped the outcome of D-Day itself.

This video breaks down how British intelligence constructed an entirely fake war: phantom armies, inflatable tanks, false radio traffic, double agents, and carefully planted intelligence—all designed to convince *Adolf Hitler* that the Allied invasion would land anywhere except Normandy.

At the center of the operation was a ruthless understanding of psychology. Fortitude didn’t rely on one lie—it relied on making the enemy want to believe the lie. German intelligence was fed information that aligned perfectly with their expectations, fears, and internal biases. Once the story took hold, even contradictory evidence was ignored.

In this video, we explore:
• How fake armies like *First U.S. Army Group* were made believable
• Why double agents mattered more than bombs
• How radio traffic and logistics sold the illusion
• Why German intelligence couldn’t correct its own mistakes
• How deception delayed German reinforcements on D-Day

This isn’t just a WWII story. It’s a case study in how large systems fail, how intelligence collapses under confirmation bias, and how belief can become stronger than reality.

Operation Fortitude didn’t just fool Hitler.
It fooled an entire intelligence network—and kept fooling it even after the invasion had begun.

If you’re interested in World War II, espionage, psychological warfare, or how deception works at a strategic level, this episode reveals how the greatest lie of the war was engineered—and why it succeeded.
