Military Deception, Imaginary Spy Rings, FUSAG, Rupert, and Ghost Armies: Allied Efforts to Ensure D-Day Success

In this episode I'm joined by US Army Major Paul Hill to help talk about Military Deception (MILDEC) and other efforts leading up to D-Day in June 1944 in an effort to ensure success for the Allies. This is one of two episodes that discuss MILDEC efforts for D-Day.
