❝

❞

A remarkable example of early intelligence work and a great story.

MAIL ON SUNDAY, Christopher Stevens ★★★★

SAGA, Benjie Goodhart

❝

…an extraordinary slice of history, and a riveting insight into the lengths British intelligence went to in order to misdirect the German high command.

❞

The campaign for D­Day: The King who Fooled Hitler resulted in more than 39 pieces of coverage across over 30 individual publications. There were eight national features, highlights include The Daily Mail, The Times, and The Mail on Sunday. There were 12 national previews in The Observer, the Guardian, and the Radio Times amongst others. There were also 14 regional TV previews, four reviews and a trade piece.

D-Day: The King Who Fooled Hitler Research by Professor Richard Aldrich of Warwick's Department of Politics and International Studies ( PAIS ) played a central part in a new Channel 4 documentary, broadcast this weekend, exploring how British intelligence enlisted the Royal Family as part of its scheme to mislead the Nazis about plans for the liberation of Europe.

King George VI was an enthusiastic support of the "secret war," and spent a week with SOE, reviewing the James Bond style gizmos and gadgets and watching secret agents being launched from North Africa into France.

When asked to be part of the grand deception being planned to persuade the Nazis that the Allies might launch the D-Day invasion via Calais or even Norway, he didn't hesitate.

But details of how he played his part proved elusive. Professor Aldrich (pictured above in the University's Modern Records Centre ) and Dr Rory Cormac of Nottingham University searched wartime archives to uncover the full story of the King's role, told for the first time in the Channel 4 documentary.

Professor Aldrich said: "The most important breakthrough in our research was discovering that railway enthusiasts at the National Railway Museum had reconstructed all the movements of the royal train during the war.

"This allowed us to know the King's movements hour by hour in the months before D-Day and which formations he YLVLWHG Âą ZKLFK UHYHDOHG KRZ DFWLYH KH ZDV RQ WKLV GHFHSWLRQ ZRUN "This was the missing piece of the jig-saw - so we ought to dedicate the programme to the trainspotters of Britain our invisible friends."

The documentary was commissioned to help mark the 75 th anniversary of D-Day. Professor Aldrich added: "The story tells the public a lot about intelligence history - something that Warwick VSHFLDOLVHV LQ Âą DQG VKRZV WKDW HYHQ D VWRU\ OLNH WKH ' 'D\ GHFHSWLRQ WKDW LV TXLWH ZHOO NQRZQ VWLOO KDV KLGGHQ secrets for scholars to unearth."

The King Who Fooled Hitler has been produced by UK-based Brave New Media and investigates how the king was able to play a key role in one of the greatest secrets of the Second World War. The show features revelatory new documents, including previously unseen secret and personal letters, to take viewers inside the plot with dramatic reconstructions and archive footage.

Silverlining, the Bristol-based production finance broker and distribution agent, handled the sale to National Geographic, which will air the show worldwide. It debuted on Channel 4 in the UK in May. ³:H ZHUH GHOLJKWHG WKDW 1DW *HR UHFRJQLVHG VR HDUO\ RQ LQ SURGXFWLRQ WKH VLJQLILFDQFH RI WKLV VWRU\ DQG VQDSSHG LW XS ´ VDLG %HWKDQ &RUQH\ 0' RI 6LOYHUOLQLQJ [sourcelink] https://www.c21media.net/nat-geo-lands-d-day-doc/ [/sourcelink]
