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.
