It was inevitable that the Allies would invade France in the summer
of 1944: the Nazis just had to figure out where and when. This job
fell to the Abwehr and several other German intelligence services.
Between them they put over 30,000 personnel to work studying
British and American signals traffic, and achieved considerable
success in intercepting and decrypting enemy messages. They also
sent agents to England - but they weren't to know that none of them
would be successful. Until now, the Nazi intelligence community has
been disparaged by historians as incompetent and corrupt, but newly
released declassified documents suggest this wasn't the case - and
that they had a highly sophisticated system that concentrated on
the threat of an Allied invasion. Written by acclaimed espionage
historian Nigel West, Codeword Overlord is a vital reassessment of
Axis behaviour in one of the most dramatic episodes of the
twentieth century.
