#2 The Germans knew we were coming across the channel too. Not much you can do to avoid that strategic dictate. However, you can mix and cover your operational and tactical execution.

#4 "Nothing like telling the enemy what we plan to do in advance."

Well, I am with Michael Yon in that respect. They already know exactly where we are. The civilians know where the compounds are, they can see troop buildups. Word gets around. You can't hide stuff like that from the locals. They already know.

What they don't know is the means and the timing.
