'Operation Fortitude' tells the thrilling tale of an ingenious deception that changed the course of the Second World War. The story is one of intrigue,drama and good fortune,practically a Hollwood script.It is a tale of double-agents,fake radio transmissions and dummy invasion craft. So the success of D-Day was made possible by the efforts of those not even present on the Normandy beaches.General Patton spent D-Day on British shores commanding a phantom army.Spanish double-agent GARBO sent messages relaying supposed intelligence from his fictitious spy network,fooling the Nazis right up until the end of the war. R.V. Jones,the head of British Scientific Intelligence,masterminded the dropping of tinfoil confetti from Lancaster bombers, creating the impression that a flotilla of Allied ships was heading on a different course to the genuine invasion fleet. Even as the Normandy landings were happening,Hitler remained convinced they were a diversionary tactic to force him to move his troops.So,thanks to 'Fortitude', D-Day was a triumph; without it the war might well have had a very different outcome. Since April 2013,again in March 2015,and in this year too,the UK Post Office has altered it's Pricing in Proportion template,altering it's prices,weight allowances,dimensions and lowered it's qualifying compensation rates too!
