EDITOR’S NOTE: This mission may have been part of Operation Bodyguard/Operation Fortitude – South/Quicksilver which were designed to deceive the Germans as to the exact timing and location of the “true” invasion of the European continent. The goal was to prevent the Germans from reinforcing their defense of Normandy. Lt. Gen. George Patton and the First United States Army Group were used as decoys.
