Just prior to D-day a senior US Air Force officer was demoted and
immediately returned to the U.S.
after apparently making an indiscreet public reference to timing of
invasion. I understand that Gen. Patton, after a similar indiscretion,
was personally reprimanded by Gen Eisenhower and informed that it was
only because of his
valueable battlefield experience that he was allowed to retain his
post. Were there any other senior figures
reprimanded for security breaches.

Well the bloke who took a complete set of 'BIGOT' plans onto an aircraft
that was shot down and subsequently acquired by the Germans would have
been, but he was dead...
The Germans thought it was a deception...
