Hot recommendation:、

Bevan's strategic deception can be said to be convincing, but if it can't do a good job of secrecy and leak the truth, then not only will the well-planned strategic deception be useless, but it will also bring disaster to the landing, so Britain has adopted unprecedented secrecy measures, codenamed "Diehard's Procedure".

First of all, in order to prevent Germany and Italy from obtaining information from Ireland, Britain and the United States forced Ireland to close the German and Italian embassies in Ireland and confiscate their radio equipment.

Second, in order to prevent diplomats in the UK from obtaining information, the UK announced on April 17 that it would temporarily revoke diplomatic privileges and prohibit diplomats from travelling in and out of the UK. prohibition of the use of diplomatic mail; Diplomatic missions are prohibited from using radio stations to communicate with their countries, and in case of emergency, they can only use radio stations and operators provided by the United Kingdom; Diplomatic embassies of various countries are on full alert.

Thirdly, there is strict news censorship of non-governmental news reports, and all reports must go through multiple checks before they can be published in the newspaper. Journalists were forbidden to send newspapers abroad, newspapers and magazines were forbidden to be exported, in order to prevent Germany from obtaining information from them, all letters sent from Britain were postponed from 25 May, and citizens were restricted from leaving Britain except for essential personnel.

Secrecy was also unprecedented, with on 1 April 10 miles off the southern coast of England, where the landing force had assembled, declared a military exclusion zone, and from 6 April the troops were on leave, and all official correspondence and telephone calls of military and civil servants were censored. U.S. military personnel are forbidden to use transatlantic telephones and telegraphs to communicate with the U.S. mainland without authorization.

From 28 May, all troops participating in the initial landing were not allowed to leave the barbed wire fence and inspected by the military police. The landing plan is always limited to the carefully selected officers.d-day (i.e., the code name of the landing day), the landing date and plan are issued to the division-level commander.d-day.three days before the landing area map, nautical charts, and other enemy information are sent to the battalion-level commander.d-day.two days before the d-day, and combat orders are issued to all units. At the same time, 2,000 intelligence officers closely monitored and inspected the officers and men of the units participating in the war.

Despite such unprecedented secrecy measures. However, leaks still occurred from time to time, but fortunately, the remedial situation was not learned by the Germans.

March 22, 1941. The staff of the Chicago Post Office in the United States opened the military parcel with the landing operation plan without permission, and the personnel concerned were immediately examined and monitored by the FBI. In the end, it was only an accident to find out.

On April 18, 1941, U.S. Army Major General Henry ? Miller claimed at a reception in London, England, that the Allies would attack France in early June. He was immediately relieved of his duties, demoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel, and repatriated.

On May 28, 1941, twelve top-secret documents related to the landing operation were blown into the street by the wind from the street windows of the British General Staff and scattered onto the road. At this time, everyone in the General Staff, from high-ranking officers to low-ranking clerks, was like a great enemy. Rush out in search of papers scattered across the streets. But only eleven copies were recovered, and just when everyone was anxious, a passer-by handed the twelfth document to the sentry on duty, which was a false alarm.

So, how effective were the deception and secrecy measures of the Allies? The Allies deciphered the German code through "super-secret" and kept a close eye on the German reaction.

There were two kinds of codes in Limer's headquarters, one was the Engel code common to the German army, and the other was the original code, which the Allies had deciphered. From the deciphered intelligence analysis, the German commander of the Western Front, the "villain" who had attacked the British home fleet, had been deceived, because at least seven German infantry divisions and three armored divisions were moving towards the Calais area. In fact, the Allies did not know at all, these troops were also fake, only the supplementary training regiments of those units were in the Far East, and the main forces of the division did not move at all, they just kept radio silence.

At this time, a fortuitous incident occurred, the Germans found the bodies of two American officers on the Omaha beachhead where the Allied troops landed, and carried with them all the combat plans of the US 5th Army and the 7th Army during the landing, which they had not had time to destroy, when this combat plan was handed over to Li Mo. After reading it carefully, Li Mo felt that this should be a real Allied landing operation plan. But how could it appear on the corpse of an American officer on the beach of Normandy, and it was so overwhelming. Limer then put Major General Ronner, head of the German Western Front Intelligence Division, in charge.

Limer's principle was to convince the Allies as much as possible that they had deceived themselves, that the Allied landing in Normandy was only a feint, and that the real landing was in Calais.

Subsequently, the Chief of the General Staff of the US Army, General Marshall, rushed to London and closely followed the movements of the German army together with the personnel of the Supreme Command and the London Supervision Office. Discussions are underway about bombing all bridges over the Seine, including those in the city of Paris, in order to stop German reinforcements. At midnight, the confidential secretary sent a message that the "super secret" had just received:

Limer had ordered the 15th Army to return to Calais, and the Germans from the rest of Western Europe were rushing to reinforce Calais.—all of them were relieved, and although the fighting in Normandy was still raging, it was clear to everyone that the landing was in victory.

The most surprising was Bivan, who never imagined that the "Guardian Project" would be so successful. Chief of the General Staff of the British Army, Allen? Marshal Brooke said, "Since Li Mo is such a big fool, how could we use such a long time and so much energy to defeat him?" Then, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and British Intelligence Director Menzies came to the High Command and spoke highly of the organization and implementation of the "Guardian Project": in the long history of British intelligence, this is the pinnacle!

But for Li Mo, a traverser, they are just clown-like performances. [,！ I don't even know who is a fool, and I will soon find out.

The assault echelon of the 82nd Airborne Division of the U.S. Army is composed of the 505th, 507th, and 508th Paratrooper Regiments and reinforced detachments, with a total of 6,800 people, commanded by the division commander, Major General Ridgway, and 369 transport aircraft, planning to be airborne on the west bank of the Mettler River west of St. Manygris, with the mission of capturing St. Manygris, controlling the bridges and ferries of the Mettler River from Rafiel to Schaffedoubon, and ensuring the passage of the US 7th Army through the Mettler River.

The 505th Regiment was led by William? Commanded by Colonel Ekman, it was planned to land on the east bank of the Mettler River and capture Rafier, Novel Opland, Saint-Man Riglis with 3 paratrooper battalions. The 1st Battalion was extremely dispersed when it landed because the planes deviated from the course and landed in the air, and after the landing, the battalion commander, Major Kelam, gathered only a very small number of men, and was blocked by the Germans on the way to Rafael, and the battalion commander and acting battalion commander were killed one after another, and failed to complete the scheduled task of occupying Rafael.
