Operation QUICKSILVER: Deception Covering the
Landing in Normandy
One great challenge of WWII was keeping secret the planned Allied landing sites in Europe. Hitler and the Germans, for a number of reasons, had a firm belief that the location of the landing would be on the French coast at Pas-de-Calais, the shortest distance across the English Channel.
The Allies prepared a scheme, called FORTITUDE, to convince the Germans that they were accurate in their belief that Pas-de-Calais was the location and, further, to lead them into believing that the real landing in Normandy was merely a diversion. The scheme was so successful that the Germans believed Pas-de-Calais was to be the main landing place even after the Normandy landings began, still convinced that Normandy was a diversionary move.

The Mongols controlled Russian Principalities even in winter maneuvers. They were tough fighters. If the Russian forts opened their gates without fighting, he spared the occupants. If they resisted, everything in the fort with a heartbeat was killed.
How did the Mongols do so well in Russia? Each soldier had 4 horses so supplies can be taken on a campaign. Flocks of farm animals were taken as well. They were well organized into formations small to large. If need be, the Mongols drank the blood of their horses. It was also said Mongol horses had the advantage in winter because it knew how to break the ice for fodder.
