Operation Mincemeat The Man Who Never Was

Discover the extraordinary true story of Operation Mincemeat—the daring World War II intelligence operation that changed the course of history using a corpse, forged documents, and brilliant deception.
In 1943, British intelligence faced an impossible challenge: how to invade Sicily without catastrophic Allied losses.

The meticulous creation of Major Martin's false identity and love letters
The secret submarine mission aboard HMS Seraph
