Nothing at all to do with Route 66, however.
3. The people who planned D-Day were BIGOTS, the code word for anyone who knew the time and place of the invasion. It was the reversal of a designation "to Gib" that was used on papers of those traveling "to Gib"raltar for the invasion of North Africa in 1942. (How do they come up with this stuff?)
4. FORTITUDE-- the Allied code for the efforts to fool the Germans during the invasion. The Allies parachuted dummies outfitted with firecrackers that exploded on landing behind enemy lines to fool them.
WINDOW-- (Not a computer term) Code name for Allied planes dropping strips of aluminum foil cut to length that corresponded to German radar waves. This made the Germans think there were two more fleets of bombers.
So far, I have not known any of this stuff even though I am fairly well-versed in World War II. Thanks Mr. Jacob and Mr. Benzkofer.
Very Sneaky, Guys. Give Me Another Code. --Cooter
