Lieutenant M.E. Clifton James was at his desk at the Royal Army Pay Corps in 1944, when he received a telephone call from film star Colonel David Niven, who was serving with the army Kinematograph section during the Second World War.
The call was the first thread in an elaborate web of deception intended to draw attention away from the imminent Allied invasion of Europe.
Under conditions of the utmost secrecy, James was posted as a Sergeant of the Intelligence Corps to Monty's staff so that he could study the general's voice, gestures and mannerisms: the way he saluted, for example, clasped his hands behind his back, or pinched a little roll of his cheek when thinking.
