In April 1944, six weeks before the Allied invasion of France, Nazi propagandist William Joyce – better known as Lord Haw-Haw – made a chilling radio broadcast aimed at Britain.
According to Joyce, Germany knew that the Allies were working on large concrete structures in southern England. Germany also knew that these structures were going to be towed across the English Channel during the next invasion and sunk off the coast of France. Joyce said: / "Well, we'll help you boys. When you come to get them started, we'll sink them for you. /"
Horns of alarm sounded within British intelligence and the Allied high command. The concrete structures mentioned by Joyce were in reality components of a giant artificial port complex destined for Normandy, called Operation Mulberry. If Hitler's spies truly understood Mulberry's purpose, they might well know the most important secret of the war: the time and place of the Allied invasion of France.
Days later, those fears were allayed when U.S. intelligence intercepted a coded message from Japan's ambassador to Berlin, Lt. Gen. Hiroshi Baron Oshima, to his superiors in Tokyo. Oshima received regular briefings from his German allies on preparations for the impending invasion. According to the intercepted message, German intelligence believed that the concrete structures were part of a huge anti-aircraft complex and not an artificial port.
But how could German intelligence make such a crucial miscalculation? Did he simply misinterpret his own information? Or had he been deceived?
