The Neptune Monograph Project
Posted on Friday 27th July 2018
The Neptune Monograph is a 122-page top-secret intelligence report that the absolute top of the allied command received six weeks before D-day. The information in it was collected through daring missions by the French resistance, frogmen, commandos, pilots, naval intelligence and weather experts. As an example frogmen swam to Omaha beach at night to collect samples of the sand to be able to analyze the possibility to land heavy tanks. This document was extremely secret and filled with vital information. Only a few men saw the Neptune Monograph before D-day and after the war, it almost disappeared from history.



It is the top-secret plans behind the D-Day invasion that has never been published before and almost disappeared from history. We think it speaks for itself. Anybody who has an interest in World War 2 will get the chance to read first hand how allied intelligence prepared for D-Day.

From our point of view, these authentic documents are extremely interesting and tell history in another way. The last decade has seen a lot of storytelling in history books, which we love. But here you get the real deal. Intelligence reports, invasion maps. Its history coming to life through an overload of facts and details and we love it.
First, we will concentrate on making the Neptune Monograph into a great book. We will restore every single of the original pages and add rare photos and historical background for better understanding. If the project is a success (gets funded) we have two similar projects in our pipeline. But this time we will change perspective and look into the German, Russian and later Japanese secret plans from WW2.
