Yes, he was only the third German prisoner of war to make a successful escape from Canada. But he was the only German prisoner of war taken in Britain during the Second World War who escaped and got back to Germany. Ask away Monty.

Ok as always I am somewhat unprepared (which makes me wonder why I keep trying to answer the questions) But I will try an easy one:

What other name was briefly given to operation Overlord prior to the landings?

I will make it a fraction clearer, there was a short period of time in 1943 where operation Overlord had a different name.

Hehe I think that was the objective.

I am a little worried about this question as its sort of a trick one, the name I am looking for remained part of overlord.
