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?

Unusual tricks for military deception and strategy?

After reading the Wikipedia page on military deception, I am looking for other resources. Also, I am wondering about the difference between chess and military strategy. This has to do with two of my characters. What would happen if they tried to work together, their backgrounds being different?

Thanks.
