But the landings on Normandy’s beaches were not won by force of arms alone.Behind the front lines, a secret war was being fought — a war of lies, deception, and misdirection. A handful of double agents, run by Britain’s MI5, wove a web of falsehoods so convincing that Hitler and his generals kept their armies waiting in the wrong place at the wrong time.There are countless others, many of whom have been forgotten to history, who bravely contributed to the war effort and to the ultimate deception that paved the way for victory in Europe. This collection tells the stories of just a handful of the men and women whose stories have been preserved.They are representative of every individual who fought so valiantly for the freedom we today so take for granted.These are the D-Day Spies.The double-agents covered in this supercut:Tricycle (Dušan Popov)Bronx (Elvira Chaudoir)Tate (Wulf Schmidt)Zigzag (Eddie Chapman)Brutus (Roman Czerniawski)Treasure (Lily Sergeyev)Garbo (Juan Pujol García)
