IIRC, there was an English boy who loved hanging out with Americans in a nearby camp. He was basically adopted by them and ran errands and shared meals with the guys. It was likely inadvertent, but the kid was suggesting words he had heard and were top secret. I believe the prof got rid of his papers and successfully hid the kid's connection.

I vaguely remember a story about an American officer who was throwing around some inside knowlege at a London cocktail party, who was immediately fired and sent back to the States.

Overlord was such a gigantic undertaking many people knew vital secrets, even on a need to know basis. It's a miracle the Germans never figured it out, but then they didn't want to figure it out. The Fuehrer and the smart money were on Calais, not Normandy.

Wasn’t Patton down south with a fake army?

Even with Patton in the US dog house
for slapping that coward, Hitler didn’t
believe Patton would be kept out
of the invasion.

Me neither.
