Consider:
They were duped by Allies feint to the south leaving the way open for Normandy invasion.
They were duped by Allies feint toward the south leaving the way open for Normandy invasion.
I have two questions:
- Which one of them is correct?
(I searched in Google. Both of "feint toward" and "feint to" are common.)
- If both of the sentences are correct, in general, are the prepositions "toward" and "to" interchangeable?
