I'll do this one, comments to follow shortly. Zawed (talk) 08:14, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The lead seems a bit long given relative size of the article, could be trimmed a little. I also think, for sake of flow, the 3rd sentence of the 2nd para should be moved to follow the 2nd sentence of the 1st para. You also use the term Abwehr in the lead but not the article itself.
Second para of background section: "Operation Fortitude North". North should be made part of the link.
- Done
London Controlling Section is linked twice.
- Done
In the article body, the link for Operation Zeppelin needs to be moved to its first mention.
- Done
Operation: link Normandy Landings
- Done
Operation: "...Allies' interest in the Balkans region..." I suggest deleting region here as it is used again in the same sentence later on.
- Done
Bibliography: Latimer is not in alphabetical order, and there are two colons in place of publication. Holt also needs place of publication.
- Done

That's it for now. I'll check back in a few days. Zawed (talk) 08:53, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
