In 1943, the Allies pulled off one of the most outrageous deceptions in World War II. Codenamed Operation Mincemeat, it involved using the body of a homeless man — disguised as a British officer — to plant fake top-secret documents that convinced Hitler the invasion of Europe would land in Greece instead of Sicily.

The plan worked. Nazi intelligence carried the forged papers straight to Hitler’s desk, and he fell for it. German troops and tanks were shifted away from Sicily, leaving it dangerously exposed. When the Allies invaded in July 1943, resistance was far weaker — saving thousands of lives and opening the road to victory.

This is the incredible true story of the corpse that fooled Hitler — a deception so daring that it changed the course of the war. From “Major William Martin” of the Royal Marines to the fake love letters in his pocket, every detail was designed to sell the lie.

Join us as we uncover why historians still call Operation Mincemeat one of the greatest wartime hoaxes ever conceived.
