You know, you've seen one beach, you've seen them all, so one more one less doesn't make much difference

I asked my teachers opinion on all of the questions from this thread, but he didn't like them saying that they were too 'specific', which is fair I suppose. So we compromised and I'm now answering the question: 'To what extent did the allies intelligence operations influence the outcome of Operation Overlord'. A nice question that I'll hopefully be able to write lots about!

I've been reading a lot about the spies/double agents involved recently, and it's really interesting. I've still got a lot of reading to do, but fortunately I'm enjoying it so it won't be too much of a chore

Yes it was, Becky. Glad you are getting on ok. Sounds like a good subject to research. Am sure people here and over at WW2 Talk will be able to help.

Did your teacher say that this is not "that spesific".... IŽd definitely disagree. Can you imagine just on how many levels the Allied intelligence worked months before and during D-day?

But of course we have discussed this in the Forums so just keep pressing that "search" button....

Good luck, Becky. I hope you come back and let us know how you made out in the end. I'm glad you and the teacher found a compromise.
