Double Cross System

The Double Cross System was a British intelligence operation during World War II that involved turning enemy spies into double agents. The Allies captured German spies and fed them false information, convincing Germany that these agents were still loyal. This deceptive strategy misled the Germans about Allied plans, notably during the D-Day invasion, making them misallocate resources and troops. By controlling the narrative through these double agents, the Allies gained a significant advantage in the war, showcasing the importance of intelligence and misinformation in military strategy.
