Operation Bodyguard

Operation Bodyguard was a strategic deception plan used by the Allies during World War II to mislead the Germans about the location and timing of the D-Day invasion in 1944. The goal was to make the Germans believe that the invasion would occur in a different location, such as Pas de Calais, rather than Normandy. This involved creating fake armies, using inflatable tanks, and spreading false intelligence. The successful execution of Operation Bodyguard helped to confuse German defenses, contributing to the success of the actual invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944.
