# *rough outline* War office in preperation for D Day right in the thick of it one top brass who is a keen crossword follower notices that one of the
D Day code words appears as an answer in the Times Crossword, over the next few weeks on the run up to D Day LOADs of D Day code words (Juno, Overlord, Gold, Omaha,) appear as answers in the Times Crossword.
