GREEN BEACH
by James Leasor

Operation Jubilee, August 1942, was essentially a rehearsal for the D-Day landings. There were 16 immediate objectives of the operation, one of which was to discover the importance of a German radar station. Among those landed was Flight-Sergeant J M Nissenthall, a radar expert, equipped with a Canadian Army uniform and escorted by a personal bodyguard whose orders were to kill him rather than allow the Germans to capture him. This is the story of what happened to him and his bodyguard during the fighting on the beaches near to Dieppe.

OPERATION FORTITUDE
by Joshua Levine

Operation Fortitude was the ingenious web of deception spun by the Allies to mislead the Nazis as to how and where the D-Day landings were to be mounted.The story of how this web was woven is one of intrigue, personal drama, ground-breaking techniques, internal resistance, and good fortune. It is a tale of double agents, black radio broadcasts, phantom armies, 'Ultra' decrypts, and dummy parachute drops. These diverse tactics were intended to come together to create a single narrative so compelling that it would convince Adolf Hitler of its authenticity.
