Hoodwinking Hitler

Rating:
Summary: purely fictional entertainment
Review: This book is just another attempt at selling interesting sounding ,far-fetched assertations.They are many gross mistakes not only in the text,but also in the illustration captions.For instance,one of his captions claims that hitler predicted the Normandy landing at Pas decalais,instead of Normandy.The fact is hitler did indead predict Normandy,while others did not share in his view.Also,a Skorzeny attempt at killing Roosevelt.Hoodwinking hitler makes a great fictional novel based on real people,but it's research and historical accuracy lack.

Summary: Simply excellent!
Review: Very well written with a plethora of little-known facts. Breuer uses small chapters constructing the big view of the D-Day deception operations in a fascinating way, making the book to be read like a thriller. No major mistakes are included in the military aspects of the subject (like the commanding officers, the allied and german orders of battle etc.) while a lot of interesting information is presented in a marvellous way. Especially enjoyable are the many interesting details of the personalities involved.
