Operation Cockade

Operation Cockade was a series of military deception tactics used by the Allies during World War II in 1943 to mislead German forces about the timing and location of upcoming invasions. It involved spreading false information and creating fake troop movements to make the Germans believe the Allies planned attacks in different areas than they actually intended. This confusion aimed to divert German defenses and reduce their preparedness, ultimately facilitating successful Allied landings in Europe. The operation was part of broader efforts to misdirect the enemy and secure strategic advantages during critical phases of the war.
