About this ebook

In June 1944, the Allies, in the largest amphibious military invasion in history, landed on the beaches of Normandy. The Germans knew they were coming. They knew exactly when, and some suspected where, and if their total defence forces had been prepared, the outcome might have been different.
But they weren`t all prepared. Some had been stood down or sent another way.
It was rumoured at the time that an Allied agent was responsible for this deception.
This is the story of that agent.

    A great plot that combines fiction with fact.
    The author used economy of words to move
    the action - with the brief exception of a
    love story sub-plot. ( It almost seems
    mandatory in this genre. )

    Fabricating a German officer by means
    of facial surgery reminded me of a movie
    wherein a GI had surgery to look like a Japanese.
    Both set out to obtain critical information or
    sought to deceive their opponent.

    In summary, a good read neither too long
    nor too short.
