is all this new info??? i just finished reading The Longest Day...and see no mention whatsoever of this character, and the book itself does go over agents from both sides, etc...
I downloaded ‘Garbo the Spy’ documentary from Netflix. It was very interesting.
Yeah, he was real. I don’t remember The Longest Day spending much time on the deceptions, but Garbo was part of elaborate deceptions the Allies put together. Another one was that they deposited a dead body in the sea with fake papers hoping the Germans would take the bait, and they did.
