From the dj: "In a desperate last-minute attempt to convince Hitler, possibly against his commander's views, a volunteer was sought to fly to France, carrying what would seem unarguable evidence that the main landings were to take place around Calais. This volunteer came from X-troop, formed by Lord Louis Mountbatten from anti-Nazi Germans, Hungarians and Austrians. Many were Jews whose families had died in concentration camps. All had volunteered for hazardous tasks where their particular backgrounds or qualifications were of great value. The man chosen was a young Austrian refugee whose father was Jewish and whose mother was Catholic. After months of careful training, which included complete identity change, he was flown into France on this crucial and impossibly dangerous mission.".
