Plot introduction

Operation Fortitude was the massive counter-intelligence operation undertaken by the Allies during World War II. Operation Fortitude was the codename for the Deception operations used by the Allied forces during World War II in connection with the Normandy landings In general allies are people groups or nations that have joined together in an association for mutual benefit or to achieve some common purpose World War II, or the Second World War, (often abbreviated WWII) was a global military conflict which involved a majority of the world's nations, including The goal of the operation was to divert German military troops from Normandy, the site of Operation Overlord, the Allied invasion of France. Normandy (Normandie Norman: Normaundie) is a geographical region corresponding to the former Duchy of Normandy. Operation Overlord was the code name for the invasion of northwest Europe during World War II by Allied forces If the German OKW (High Command, Oberkommando der Wehrmacht) were convinced that the invasion was to come at Calais, those resources would not be able to reach the battlefield, blocked by the Seine river. For other uses of OKW see OKW (disambiguation. The Oberkommando der Wehrmacht ( OKW) ( English: "High Command Calais (kaˈlɛ in English often kæˈleɪ traditional English pronunciation /ˈkælɨs/ Kales is a town in northern France. The Seine (sɛn in French) is a slow flowing major River and commercial waterway within the regions of Île-de-France and Haute-Normandie

To that end, the Allies created the fictitious First United States Army Group (FUSAG), positioned in southern England, near the Pas de Calais. First United States Army Group was a fictitious Army Group invented by the Allies in World War II prior to D-Day, as part of Operation Quicksilver FUSAG looked like a massive concentration of troops -- at least, from an aerial photograph. At ground level, FUSAG could be made for what it really was: a charade. In Eye of the Needle, Follett explores the possibility of a German spy managing to take pictures of the faux buildup, and his journey to get those pictures in the hands of Hitler.
