One Letter Moved Two Armies
Chapters
About this video
How did one letter fool two armies? The whole deception was a single private letter, not a set of orders: a chatty, indiscreet note between two senior generals about the coming operation. Orders can be planted, but a private letter between colleagues is much harder to fake, and therefore much easier to believe. #history #ww2 #militaryhistory #deception
