In April 1943, a corpse washed up on a Spanish beach carrying forged letters that convinced Hitler the Allies would invade Greece and Sardinia instead of their real target: Sicily. This is the true story of Operation Mincemeat how two British intelligence officers turned a homeless man's unclaimed body into "Major William Martin," a fictional officer with a fake fiancée, a fabricated love life, and a briefcase full of lies that reshaped the defense of southern Europe and helped save thousands of Allied lives during the invasion of Sicily.
