High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Operation Skye was a deception plan carried out by the Allies during World War II, in which fake wireless traffic was created in order to give the appearance of units that threatened an invasion of Norway from Britain. It was a subplan of Operation Fortitude, a wider deception plan designed to mask the Allied intention to invade Normandy (Operation Overlord). Operation Fortitude North created a fictional British Fourth Army in Scotland, with its headquarters in Edinburgh Castle. Skye was the radio deception component of Fortitude North. Radio operators would pass fake radio messages among themselves, simulating the radio traffic that would be created by the real unit, expecting that the enemy would intercept the transmissions. Skye I was Fourth Army headquarters, Skye II was the fictional British II Corps, Skye III was the genuine American XV Corps stationed in Northern Ireland (but with fictional units added to its order of battle), Skye IV was the fictional British VII Corps.
