    The major objective of this plan was to lead the Germans to believe that the invasion of northwestern Europe would come later than was actually planned, and to threaten attacks at other locations than the true objective, including the Pas de Calais, the Balkans, southern France, Norway, and Soviet attacks in Bulgaria and northern Norway.

    Not exactly WWII related, but there was a near-coup against FDR in 1933 headed by a lot of the elite.

    Oh, and uh, I guess for a question:

    Why was Joseph Goebels excommunicated by the Roman Catholic?

    Being a nazi? (that's certainly qualifies one for being excommunicated ) But my guess is that he was a homosexual?

    edit: Nevermind I must be thinking of someone else...was Goebels the guy who killed his 5 kids and he and his wife commited suicide in the fuhrerbunker?

    Wasn't that the German's codename for invading Denmark and Norway?

    Perhaps because he committed suicide with his wife after killing his flock of kids.

    Or his activity in the holocaust..

    Yep, twice as many soldiers were killed on Okinawa as were in Iwo Jima and Guadalcanal combined.
