Description: | Select Guide Rating A vital reassessment of Axis intelligence released for the 75th anniversary of Operation Overlord, using newly declassified documents and reports It was inevitable that the Allies would invade France in the summer of 1944: the Nazis just had to figure out where and when. This job fell to the Abwehr and several other German intelligence services. Between them they put over 30,000 personnel to work studying British and American signals traffic, and achieved considerable success in intercepting and decrypting enemy messages. They also sent agents to England – but they weren’t to know that none of them would be successful. |
