ABSTRACT
The concluding chapter discusses how the experience of deception in the Mediterranean from 1940 to 1943 was brought to bear in the most important deception of the war: that designed to draw German troops away from Normandy and instead to the Pas-de-Calais. It also assesses the post-war influence of the double-cross and deception systems, neither of which were as consequential as their wartime successes might lead one to believe. Finally, the conclusion assesses the successes and failures of the double-cross system in deception and counter-intelligence.
