Horses – Deception Operations in the Second World War
by Martin Young and Robbie Stamp |
|
Description:
Trojan
Horses is the true story of the men and women who worked
together to deceive the enemy during WWII. From North
Africa to Normandy, Asia to Sicily these civilians and
service personnel managed to outwit the enemy. Their purpose
was simple; using illusion, guile and misinformation they
succeeded in fooling the enemy to place men and resources
in the wrong place and at the wrong time. This book contains
personal reminiscences from soldiers, officers and engineers
who created an intricate web of deception. From Dummy
tanks and Landing Craft to misinformation which brought
great success on D-Day, this is a fascinating book of
their achievements.
