May I suggest an excellent book on this subject. Written by an English Historian named Anthony Cave Brown.

“Bodyguard of Lies: The Extraordinary True Story Behind D-Day”

ISBN-10: 9781599213835

I read this book in 1976 when it first came out. This book made me a History Student. I spent almost 10 years reading related material because of the impact of this book. For me the truly interesting part was the Sig/Intel of the time and the impact on WWII.

Those were truly the “times that try men’s souls” (as these are).

The difference is that at that time there were men (and women) who cared about the USA and freedom as both a structure and a concept.

The only people who feel “these times are those that try men’s souls” are those not on the dole (need I remind everyone that fewer than 1/2 of all Americans pay .01 in taxes?) and those whose religious/ideological fellation of a pedophile is exalted upon the altar of Political Correctness.

These are not the times that “try men’s souls” since souls are in such a meager supply.

As an Air Force Tech Controller(307X0), I was privileged to have been taught the then still Classified Counter Measures and Counter Counter Measures of WWII.
