WW2 soldiers at Normandy sometimes only found out that "it was on" the moment they got on the boats. "Oh, this is just another exercise, we're gonna run around Kent again" right up until they smelled the sea and the truck pulled up to the dock.
Even the airborne found out just a few hours before they jumped, the bare minimum for them to finalize and check their gear and get ready to board the gliders and planes.
