IIRC, the London Times crossword puzzle guy found himself in a pickle, too.

Leading up to D-Day, he was using the code names of various projects, including "OVERLORD".

It was the Daily Telegraph, not the Times.

One of them at 11 across in the Telegraph puzzle was ‘MULBERRY’, with the clue ‘This bush is the centre of nursery revolutions’.

In Times 23,805, a puzzle that appeared in December 2007, the answer to 11 across was once again ‘MULBERRY’, this time with the clue ‘Harbour children go round in the cold’. I cannot believe this is not a witty allusion to what happened in 1944.
