The Dead Body That Fooled Hitler and Won WWII

In 1943, British intelligence pulled off one of the boldest deceptions in military history—using a dead body to fool Hitler himself.

They dressed a homeless man as a Royal Marine officer, planted fake invasion plans on him, and let his corpse wash up in Spain. The Nazis fell for it. Hitler diverted his forces to the wrong location, leaving Sicily exposed.

This wild plot, codenamed Operation Mincemeat, was so successful that Churchill called it "the most successful deception of the war."

One dead man.
One suitcase of lies.
Thousands of lives saved.
And the course of WWII was changed forever.
