c:1 It was designed to make the Germans think that Britain would attack France through the Pas de Calais and not via Normandy.

5 To make the Germans think that the main invasion would take place in Calais, and

weaken forces in the Normandy area.

My father played a key role in Operation Fortitude. Operation Fortitude was the codename for the deception operations used by the Allied forces during World War II. It was divided into Fortitude North, a threat to invade Norway, and Fortitude South, designed to make the Germans believe that the main invasion of France would occur in the Pas de Calais rather than Normandy. Fortitude South was one of the most successful deception operations of the war, and arguably the most important.

The principal objective of Operation Fortitude was to make sure that the opposition faced by the troops invading Normandy would be weak enough to ensure its success. Equally important was to delay the movement of German reserves to the Normandy beachhead, and prevent a potentially disastrous counterattack. The plan therefore aimed to persuade the Germans that other attacks were planned in Scandinavia and the Pas de Calais. In order to do this the Allied forces created a series of false radio reports related to these bogus invasions, which the Germans naturally intercepted,

and through German double agents. The Germans had about SO agents in England

at the time, but MIS, that's the British Military Intelligence division, the place where my dad worked, had caught and recruited many of them as double agents. In fact, although they did not know it, MIS controlled all of the German agents in Britain at the time. MIS planned to feed German Intelligence a misleading picture of the invasion preparations via their own agents. Reports sent by these agents were carefully controlled in order to support the view of forces in the UK which the Allied deception planners wished to present. Fortitude South's mission was to convince the

Germans that the Allied forces were going to invade France at Pas de Calais- a logical strategic choice for an invasion since it was the closest part of France to England. By doing this they hoped to reduce the number of troops in the Normandy area when the real invasion took place, and let German Intelligence think that the main invasion would still be in Pas de Calais. They managed to do this by constructing additional bases and buildings, and positioning bogus vehicles and landing craft around false

embarkation points along the south-east coast of England.
