The Spy Who Never Existed: The Bizarre WWII Plot That Changed the Course of the War

Описание: Imagine this: It's 1943. The Allies desperately need to invade Europe, but the Nazis are waiting for them in Sicily. The solution by British Intelligence? Take the body of a homeless man, dress him up as a Major, plant highly classified (but completely fake) documents on him, and float him ashore in Spain—hoping the papers would land straight on Hitler's desk.

The Story & Impact: It sounds like a ridiculous movie plot, but this is the true story of Operation Mincemeat. In this video, we dive deep into one of the most successful and unbelievable espionage missions in history. We reveal how a small, brilliant team in London painstakingly invented "Major William Martin," creating a perfect fictional life, down to the love letters in his pocket and his ticket stubs.

We investigate the real identity of the man whose body was used, and how this audacious move caused the Germans to shift entire divisions to Greece and Sardinia, thereby saving countless lives during the actual invasion of Sicily.
