Information

------------------------------



Dead men don't tell tales - or do they? Are there forensic clues left in the sands of time? Are there traces of archive film which even today are waiting to unveil their grisly secret? Not all the captivating and fascinating stories of military escapades in the 20th Century have been fully examined and many fascinating insights are still to be revealed and told.

These have been known until now as DEADMEN'S SECRETS.

What was the true story behind the tragic death of John F Kennedy's older and better looking brother? Was this the man who Joe Kennedy Sr. was really grooming for President? Could his death have been avoided?

How was it possible for an American President to order the death in mid-air of the man who executed the raid on Pearl Harbor? Who tampered with the flying controls of General Sikorski's plane? And which secret frogman was first on the scene when the plane crashed into the sea? Why did Hitler murder his right-hand man and why did the bomb plot to kill Hitler fail?

How did the Allies execute a daring plot to kill Hitler's chosen successor and who set fire to the 'Normandie' before she could set sail from New York with 6,000 American troops on board?

Who really was 'The Man Who Never Was'? This and many other fascinating questions are answered in this new pivotal series entitled DEADMEN'S SECRETS.

With newly discovered archive film and new state of the art 3D computer graphics the series sets out to answer some of the most baffling questions and war mysteries of the 20th Century.

DEADMEN'S SECRETS is the first serious attempt this Century to lay some of the last Century's most puzzling ghosts to rest.

14)  Operation Bodyguard: D-Day Deception

The Allies knew that to be successful on D-Day they must disguise where they would land; so they created an elaborate system of hoax and deception named Operation Bodyguard to fool the Germans who were waiting. There were fake armies, dummy landing craft and false intelligence, all designed to keep Hitler guessing about the true objective of the Allied landings.

It was an all-or-nothing proposition, one where turning back was impossible and failure unthinkable. But there was no guarantee of success and when the D-Day invasion was planned, the Allied commanders thought of every possible way to stack the odds in their favour. One of the most audacious of these plans involved the creation of a shadow force, one with virtually no troops or firepower whose success would not rely on the firing of a shot.

OPERATION BODYGUARD: D-DAY DECEPTION talks with military experts and historians to tell the complete tale of the phantom invasion of Pas de Calais, where Hitler came to believe that the Allied forces would land. See archival footage of the fake armies and dummy landing craft that supported this ruse and examine the carefully planted false intelligence that gave the story credence.
