A German Spy Stole The D-Day Secrets in WW2 — But the Germans Thought The Intel Was a Lie

Did the Nazis get a direct warning about D-Day months before the Normandy landings? This is the declassified true story of one of the greatest intelligence failures of World War 2. In 1943, a valet working for the British Ambassador in neutral Turkey began selling Britain's most guarded secrets to the highest bidder. Codenamed "Cicero," this audacious Nazi spy photographed top-secret documents, including files from the Tehran Conference that contained the code name for the invasion of France: Operation Overlord. For months, Cicero delivered priceless intelligence on Allied strategy straight into the hands of the Third Reich. Yet, when the crucial D-Day secrets arrived in Berlin, they were met with a fatal combination of paranoia and disbelief. German High Command was so convinced it was a complex British trap, they ignored the warning that could have changed the outcome of the war. Join Spy Tales as we uncover the incredible story of the Cicero Affair—a tale of betrayal, irony, and the monumental strategic blunder that left the beaches of Normandy vulnerable.
