World War II deception plan during the build-up to the 1944 Normandy landings
Operation Bodyguard was a World War II deception strategy employed by the Allied states before the 1944 invasion of northwest Europe.

Planning for Bodyguard was started in 1943 by the London Controlling Section, a department of the war cabinet.
