The lesser-known first part, Fortitude North, suggested a threat to Norway. The more famous Fortitude South indicated that the invasion would occur at the Pas de Calais rather than Normandy, largely by creating a fictitious army group under Gen. George S. Patton. While historians have generally praised Operation Fortitude, Barbier takes a more nuanced view, arguing that the deception, while implemented well, affected the invasion's outcome only minimally.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cli\u003eA much-needed reassessment of the deception operation that preceded the Allied invasion of Europe in World War II \u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eInvolves double agents, fake equipment, phantom units, and famous commanders\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMary Kathryn Barbier is a professor of history at Mississippi State University, where she teaches American history, military history, and grand strategy.
