On this week’s very special episode, Liz tells Dakota a story of World War II trickery and deception.  Retelling the Allied invasion of Sardinia, no wait, was it Sicily?  We’re not sure, but Liz explains how the British were able to also confuse the Germans into defending a territory that wasn’t really under attack.
