General Patton and the Fake Invasion

In this episode, we dive into the story behind the D-Day invasion, focusing on the strategic deception of Operation Fortitude and how it misled the Germans into preparing for a fake invasion. We explore the role of General Patton in this ruse and how spies like Juan Pujol, known as Garbo, fed false intelligence to the Germans. We also examine the aftermath of the invasion, including the tragic incidents of sexual violence committed by American soldiers, and how these crimes have been largely overlooked in historical accounts. The episode highlights both the heroism of the soldiers who liberated France and the uncomfortable truths of their actions during the war.
