Quote:
Before he remade himself as the master spy known as Garbo, Juan Pujol was nothing more than a Barcelona poultry farmer. But as Garbo, he turned in a masterpiece of deception that changed the course of World War II. Posing as the Nazis’ only reliable spy inside England, he created an imaginary million-man army, invented armadas out of thin air, and brought a vast network of fictional subagents to life. The scheme culminated on June 6, 1944, when Garbo convinced the Germans that the Allied forces approaching Normandy were just a feint - the real invasion would come at Calais. Because of his brilliant trickery, the Allies were able to land with much less opposition and eventually push on to Berlin. GtrsRGr8: Hmmm . . . . I hope that the book is more accurate than the blurb. The Allies which landed at Normandy (Americans, British, Canadians, maybe others (If I've left anyone out it isn't intentional)) did not eventually "push on" to Berlin. When Eisenhower, I think that it was, saw the projected casualty figures for the assault on Berlin, he offered the honor of taking Berlin to the Soviet Union which accepted. The Americans, British, and Canadians fought through other parts of Germany. I think that the agreement was that the A,B,C's would stop at the Elbe River. At any rate, that is where the American contingent, at least, did stop, meeting the Soviets there. As part of an agreement at Tehran, Casablanca, or somewhere else, Berlin was divided into separate sectors--East and West Berlin. The East was to go to the Soviets and the West was to go to one or more of the other Allies. But the occupation of West Berlin by one or more of the other Allies was not from a military push, but by the Soviet Union transferring it over to them in an orderly manner. |

Amazon USA vs Amazon UK
I checked two books on the UK and USA site and found that the USA site offers these two books for just under $2.00 each cheaper then the UK site even with the UK's sale.

I think the >$12 one linked on the Kindle book page is a different audible edition (and it is kind of a pain to figure out which one it is). |
