Is maskirovka fundamentally distinct to other forms of military deception? If so, why?
This was spurred on by thinking about how blitzkrieg can be described as simply combined arms warfare but with a name that was politicised/useful for propaganda. Is the same true of maskirovka?
Were other efforts of deception, such as the lead up to Overlord, actually distinct from maskirovka or is it a strategy employed by all militaries to varying degrees?

Thanks.
