The Nazis believed their operatives were funneling significant details about U.S. forces, munitions, and war preparations. But in fact, the transmissions were controlled by the FBI\u2014the Nazi spies were FBI double agents.

Operatives set out to deceive the Nazi leader about the nature and location of the main Allied thrust so that he would be ill-prepared to meet the invasion. The key to Bodyguard\u2019s success was the Allies\u2019 control of a number of German spies and ability to read coded German messages that confirmed the Nazis didn\u2019t know their agents were compromised.<\/p>\n<p>For the FBI, the initial purpose in participating in the counterintelligence effort was to learn about Nazi espionage\u2014who was involved, how they worked, and what they wanted to know. Early on, intelligence from one double agent\u2019s transmission indicated the Nazis were very interested in U.S. experiments with atomic energy. This, in part, spurred U.S. efforts to build the atomic bomb before the Nazis could.<\/p>\n<p>The secretive work at Benson House proved even more valuable because it allowed us to plant misleading information for Nazi officials\u2014essentially controlling what the enemy knew about the U.S. and its state of military readiness. In the case of Operation Bodyguard, it allowed us to help Allied efforts to protect the D-Day invasion plans.<\/p>\n<p>Even after the fall of Germany in 1945, Nazi intelligence officials believed that the hundreds of messages sent by their spies in the U.S. were real. The FBI\u2019s efforts to contribute to the Allied \u201cbodyguard of lies\u201d were among the many Bureau intelligence efforts during the war and were surely some of our most significant.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mosaic-grid-cell mosaic-position-two-thirds mosaic-width-third col-md-4\">\n<div class=\"movable removable mosaic-tile mosaic-plone.app.standardtiles.rawhtml-tile\">\n<div class=\"mosaic-tile-content\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York &#8211; Rashad &#8211; Alkhader &#8211; Homeland News &#8211; From News -FBI In honor of the 70th anniversary of the D-Day invasion, the FBI last weekend celebrated a landmark that was home to one of the Bureau\u2019s intelligence successes during World War II.
