Description
Double Cross: The True Story of the D-Day Spies The turning point of the Second World War was a victory of arms, but also a triumph of deception. On D-Day, June 6, 1944, the Allies launched a massive invasion force, but the Nazis were convinced that Calais and Norway, not Normandy, were the targets. This was made possible by a team of double agents, known by their codenames Bronx, Brutus, Treasure, Tricycle, and Garbo, who wove a web of deceit so intricate that it ensnared Hitler's army and helped to save countless lives. These double agents were not conventional warriors, but their bravery, treachery, and inspiration made them heroes in their own right. Their story is one of intrigue, bravery, and sacrifice, and is told here in a gripping and deeply moving account. The Double Cross System was a masterpiece of deception that played a crucial role in the success of the D-Day invasion. This book tells the story of the men and women who made it possible, and is a reminder that heroism can be found in the most unlikely places.
