- Operation_Ironside abstract "Operation Ironside was a Second World War military deception. Undertaken by the Allies in 1944, the operation threatened an invasion of France, along the Bay of Biscay, in support of the invasion of Normandy. Ironside formed part of the Operation Bodyguard deception strategy.Planning for Ironside fell to the London Controlling Section, with the operation carried out via double agents. It was intended to play on German fears of an invasion in the Bordeaux region, with the aim of tying down defensive forces there. As with many of the Bodyguard deceptions, the force earmarked for Ironside never existed. The storyline for the supposed invasion included an initial two-division assault from the United Kingdom, followed by a further eight divisions sailing from the United States. Agents Tate, Bronx and Garbo relayed snippets of the plan to their German handlers during May 1944.There is no indication that Ironside was successful in convincing the Germans of Allied plans to invade the Bay of Biscay. Worried about exposing agents as false, the Twenty Committee sent disinformation with words of caution. In addition, Allied landings around Bordeaux were implausible because it was beyond fighter cover from the United Kingdom.".
