Continued from Part 3 General Washington’s defense of New York City was almost more of a symbolic gesture. Much like America’s covert support of Angolan forces fighting the Communists in the 1980s, General Washington wasn’t fighting to secure a strategic victory, but rather to deny the British an easy victory of key terrain in the […]
Continued from Part 2 The Battle for Manhattan Now in Manhattan, General Washington’s army was faced with a truly unwinnable situation.

One of the more bizarre and successful military deception operations took place on April 30, 1943, during World War II by the British.

This caused the Germans to funnel […]
