De-coded Note — Hitler Was Fooled

Interesting revelation from Bletchley Park — Britain’s army of code-breakers were able to confirm in advance of D-Day that the Nazis had been successfully fooled. Hitler believed the invasion would happen at Pas de Calais instead of Normandy, as shown in this document:

DONNY, DICK AND DORICK

These are the names of three entirely fictious spies for Germany who, Pujol writes, have told him that large numbers of Allied troops remain gathered in southern England. This, Pujol says, means the initial D Day landings were just a “red herring”. Of course, this is disinformation.

PAS DE CALAIS

Pujol writes that the “critical attacks” are still to come, most likely to be focused on Pas de Calais in northern France. In truth, this is a bluff on Pujol’s part, intended to keep German forces away from the rearguard of the actual invasion sites in Normandy.

AMY

Here Pujol quotes AMY, another fictitious agent, telling him that there were 75 divisions in England before the France landings – meaning more were still to come. The Germans have no idea that this is untrue.
