D-Day brought a huge force of Allied soldiers and armour face to face with the Wermacht who had strutted over Europe. Now they would have to face a real army !

Calais. For every Allied reconnaissance flight over Normandy, two were flown over Calais to increase the deception.

Another dummy army in Scotland was created to confuse the Germans into thinking that Norway might also be a possible site for the invasion.
