July 10, 1943: The Day a Dead Corpse Fooled the Nazis | Full Documentary

On July 10th, 1943, Allied forces launched Operation Husky, landing in Sicily and opening a new front against Nazi Germany. But their success was due, in part, to a cunning deception months earlier. In April 1943, a corpse dressed as a British officer washed ashore in neutral Spain, carrying documents suggesting a major Allied landing in the Balkans. The Germans took the bait. In reality, this was Operation Mincemeat - one of the most brilliant and darkly ironic deceptions of World War II. This episode of Spies of War reconstructs the astonishing plot that saved thousands of lives and reshaped the war’s southern front, revealing how misinformation became a weapon more powerful than bullets.
