Patton as a decoy?

Did they really set Patton up as the leader in the invasion at Calais in France? I never heard of that. I've watched a lot of shows about the deceptions they used, phony tanks, planes, bodies with fake plans but never that.

It's true. The film is historically accurate.

For more information, look for articles about Patton, Operation Fortitude and First United States Army Group (FUSAG).
