However, the British radio and newspapers have revealed the secrets of both sides, intentionally or unintentionally. Germany could not tolerate the presence of traitors in southern Europe and decided to send troops to occupy Hungary. But at that time, the German army was on the Soviet battlefield on the Eastern Front, and the battle situation was very tense, and it was impossible to withdraw troops at all; Fierce fighting was raging on the beaches of Anzio in Italy on the southern flank, and there were no troops to draw.

In the end, three armored divisions and one infantry division had to be drawn from France, and on March 19, 1941, they occupied the whole of Hungary and imprisoned Hungarian Prime Minister Kali in a concentration camp. Romania was frightened and suspended secret contacts with Britain and the United States. In this way, although Germany controlled the situation in southern Europe, it lost 4 divisions of elite troops in France.

In Northern Europe, Beavan organized the "Northern Perseverance" program. In January 1941, Beavan visited the Soviet Union and joined forces with Soviet intelligence to create the illusion of attacking Norway and Sweden. Britain established the 4th Army Command in Edinburgh, Scotland, with General MacLeod as its commander, but he actually had only more than 20 officers and more than 500 telegraph operators, who were mainly responsible for communicating radio contacts with similar false commands of the Soviet Army, and camouflaging radio communications at the army, corps, division, and regiment levels within this group army.

The press also actively cooperated, and some published reports on the football match of the Fourth Group Army, while others even carried out a special report on the "One Day with the Army" of the Seventh Army, which belongs to the Fourth Group Army. The Germans, with their excellent radio interception and positioning technology, quickly determined the location of this fake army group headquarters and also sent planes to bomb it.

The British army also issued a polar engine maintenance manual to the troops stationed in Scotland, supplementing skis and other equipment in severe cold areas. Ski training. It looks like he's going to fight in Northern Europe. In addition, the British BBC radio station broadcast to Norway and Sweden asked the people of the two countries to prepare for air defense and stock up as much as possible on food, fuel, medicine and other necessities.

As a result of these measures, the Germans deployed 13 divisions, including 1 panzer, in Norway and Sweden to cope with the Allied offensive. Of course, Li Mo will not fall for the Allied forces, and Li Mo will also make a plan, pretending to send planes to bomb this false enemy headquarters, and the thirteen German divisions deployed in Norway, each division will leave a training supplementary regiment, and a training supplementary regiment will have about 2,000 people. Thirteen divisions are thirteen regiments.

All thirteen regiments were named after their divisional headquarters. The report was sent in the Engel code, which was common to Germany, and the main force of the elite German army of thirteen divisions had been secretly transferred to the Ardennes Forest by various means and hidden.

The only people who remained in Norway were more than 20,000 people in reserve, and their task was to fill the numbers indiscriminately. At the same time, he guarded more than 350 fortresses built by the Germans in Norway. And Norway also had German naval support on the sea. Among them were the five remaining aircraft carriers of the German army. There are more than eighty submarines, and it is not so easy for the Allies to want to land in Norway.

On the Soviet-German battlefield on the Eastern Front. Before June 1941, the Soviet Union launched several large-scale offensives, such as the Battle of Kharkov and the Battle of Khom, and gathered a large number of troops at Kursk, so that the Soviet Army firmly attracted the German army on the Eastern Front.

Fortunately, Li Mo's policy of national equality, and full trust in those Russians who opposed Stalin's iron-blooded rule, led to the birth of the Russian Liberation Army, which is a 1.5 million fighting race soldiers who are not afraid of death and have great hatred for the Stalin regime! This gave Li Mo the opportunity to draw a million troops from Army Group South.

Although there are talented new SS troops among these 100 troops, the German SS's will to fight is really unquestionable, don't worry about Li Mo, as for their combat experience, just fight a few battles, don't worry about it at all.

The second and most crucial purpose of the "Defender" plan was to convince the Germans that the Normandy landings were nothing more than a feint to deplete their reserves prematurely. However, a person with a little military common sense only needs to find that the first echelon of the Normandy landing had the size of 8 divisions, it is enough to be sure that this is the main attack.

And Beavan wanted to create a miracle in the impossible, and if it could not convince the Germans, he would at least disturb the judgment of the Germans and delay the Germans in making the correct conclusions as much as possible. To this end, Beavan has designed dozens of affiliate programs.

The most important of these was the "Mercury Plan": in the south-east of England, a fictitious unit was created under the name of the First Army Group of the United States. First of all, a special organization was set up to draw up this fake message between the units of the army group, which ranged from strategic and tactical discussions and studies to requests for the supply of cigarettes and field rations to toilet paper.

More than 300 telegraph operators of the 310th Communications Battalion of the US Army and a battalion of the Royal Communications Regiment of the British Army disguised themselves as radio communications between group armies, corps, divisions, regiments, and battalions, and carried out contact in strict accordance with the daily communication volume of units at the same level.

In order to make wireless calls more realistic, the U.S. military also deliberately recruited some people from the Browede Theater Company, who are good at simulating the accents of various U.S. states, to have conversations on wireless calls. In addition, a fake command was set up in Dover, and high-power radio stations were used to communicate with subordinate units, and even some of the orders of the 21st Army Group Command of the real landing force were transmitted by telephone to the dummy command in Dover, and then sent by the radio of the fake headquarters.

The German radio listening and positioning units detected these Allied radio communications, and thus judged that the main direction of attack for the Allied landing was Calais, because the Allied headquarters was in Dover, opposite Calais. Secondly, in the southeastern region of England, military camps, warehouses, roads, and oil pipelines were built, and Hollywood prop masters set up fake material hoards, fake airports, fake planes, fake tanks, fake cannons, and realistically created oil stains on the river surface of warships and tracks left by tanks on roads.

Among them, the Dover fake oil terminal designed by the famous professor of the Royal Design Institute of the United Kingdom is a must, this fake oil terminal covers an area of 7.8 square kilometers, "oil pipelines", "oil storage tanks", "power stations", "parking lots" are readily available, and even the fire brigade has it, all of which are built by scaffolding, fiberboard and old cement pipes, all of which have guards standing guard, and blowers raise dust during the day, and smoke from fires at night, a scene of intense construction.

Eisenhower also came to inspect from time to time, and the mayor of Dover gave a speech about the project, and they just wanted to convince the German army. In addition, some units that did not have combat missions in the early days of the landing were transferred here to be stationed for drills. In this way, the German reconnaissance planes, which had worked hard to break through the Allied air defense line, were allowed to reconnoiter and photograph, creating the false impression that the Allies had assembled about 40 divisions of the First Army Group in southeast England.
