The story of King George VI's plan to divert German attention from the Normandy landing in 1944. - Public Broadcasting Service
While World War II raged, the family ties of the House of Windsor to German aristocracy and the former Edward VIII's Nazi sympathies gave British intelligence grounds for looking askance at the Royals. George VI would lay that to rest in 1944, as he put himself in peril pursuing an elaborate ruse to convince the Axis that Norway, not Normandy, would be the Allied invasion point, as chronicled in this fascinating documentary. Helen McCrory narrates. 60 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
