“Deception at D-Day” tells how the Allies confused Hitler and key Nazi decision-makers on the size, location, and time of the Normandy landings on June 6th, 1944.

Often overshadowed by the heroics of the landings, deception operations played an important role in Operation Overlord’s success. “Deception at D-Day” includes segments on the Atlantic Wall, Operation Fortitude, the Double-Cross System, Pas-de-Calais v. Normandy, and the Rundstedt v. Rommel debate while also teaching current Army doctrine on deception operations.
