agent garbo, by stephen talty. at the very least google him, but if you like reading at all, get the book about an amazing spy and his story. its fascinating, interesting, and very enjoyable.

Remember a movie years ago that covered the deception of the invasion. The high command had fake plans fall into the hands of a German agent..the fake plan had Calais as the invasion point..and the Germans bit and moved all defenses to calais..Now i won't sleep tonite..Might have been Patton but think it was an earlier movie, maybe The Longest Day...also read a book that covered it..
