Who were the officers and commanders involved in planning this?

IOW ... who led Zeppelin?<rim shot> Daniel Case (talk) 21:40, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Daniel Case:, Advanced Headquarters 'A' Force; so Dudley Clarke and his staff. As which staff exactly were responsible for planning the deception, not sure. It was probably the staff of Main HQ in Cairo and Algiers, possibly an officer called Sweeney attacked the Tac 2 HQ in Italy (he was involved deeply in Operation Royal Flush so likely was involved in Zeppelin too. Some of that is speculation. --Errant ^(chat!) 18:30, 8 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@ErrantX: Thanks. It was intended mainly as the setup line for a lame joke (as I think you realized

), but I did notice after looking the article over that no persons were named. Something to try to find out, I suppose. Daniel Case (talk) 21:19, 8 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Daniel Case: I was very tired and slow last night ;) So it went straight over my head.... --Errant ^(chat!) 10:00, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
