EP 71: Operation Mincemeat

This week on Hashtag History, we are discussing the weird and wondrous World War II tactical deception that was Operation Mincemeat. This was a 1943 British deception operation in which the corpse of a deceased British homeless man (dressed as an officer of the Royal Marines and carrying fabricated correspondence about fictitious military plans to invade Sicily) was purposefully planted in Nazi-friendly Southern Spain in order to convince the Nazis of an impending British invasion and throw them off the track of the true plans for British troops. This story is wild!
