1944. OPERATION FORTITUDE

Whatever it takes

An episode from the series HISTORY GREATEST LIES

Synopsis

June 6, 1944. The beaches of Normandy are the scene of the most spectacular military operation of all time. The Landings become a key moment that will alter the course of the Second World War.

They owe their success to a gigantic lie: a phantom army of inflatable tanks and wooden rifles; but also to a whole network of double agents, most of them entirely fictitious.

And leading this campaign of disinformation - the most sophisticated ever dreamt up – is one man: Winston Churchill.
