In 1943, the British military launched one of the most absurd and brilliant deception operations in World War Two history: Operation Mincemeat.
To open the southern front of occupied Europe and capture Sicily, the Allies didn't deploy an elite army or top-secret superweapons. Instead, they relied on a single corpse floating in the sea, carrying carefully forged documents and a fictional identity: Major William Martin.
Discover how a homeless man from Wales, two British intelligence masterminds, and a fake briefcase convinced Adolf Hitler to ignore Sicily and send his elite Panzer divisions hundreds of miles away in the wrong direction.
