Operation Fortitude - D Day Deception. The talk will be about the intelligence picture prior to D-Day and the deception operations staged to protect the truth of Operation Overlord in June 1944.

During 2021 British Modern Military History Society (BMMHS) will continue monthly Zoom talks and look to resume live meetings as soon as we can and it is deemed safe to do so. However with the uncertainty over COVID-19 and the restrictions, the meetings we have organised may revert to Zoom talks. So please check on the website homepage for the latest information, or email zoom@bmmhs.org. There is a mixture of afternoon and evening talks, to give as many people as possible a change to attend.
Our afternoon meeting on 2 March will be about Operation Fortitude - D Day Deception – which will cover the intelligence picture prior to D-Day and the deception operations staged to protect the truth of Operation Overlord in June 1944. On 10 March the evening talk, entitled The Women who flew for Hitler, concerns the extraordinary story of the only two female test pilots who served Nazi Germany, yet whose decisions and actions put them on opposite sides of history.
The meetings are becoming very popular with growing numbers attending. We are grateful to those who make donations which enable us to book speakers for the coming months.
