Скачать или смотреть The Corpse That Fooled Hitler: How One Dead Body Won World War II

April 30, 1943. A body washes ashore in Spain carrying documents that would change World War II forever. There was just one problem: Major William Martin never existed.

This is the true story of Operation Mincemeat — the most audacious military deception ever conceived. British intelligence planted fake invasion plans on a corpse, fooled Hitler himself, and saved thousands of Allied lives during the invasion of Sicily.

But the man who made it possible was Glyndwr Michael, a homeless Welsh vagrant who died alone. His identity remained classified for 50 years. His sacrifice changed history.

🎯 WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER:
How British intelligence created an entire fake identity from scratch
The psychological tricks that fooled German intelligence for months
Why Hitler moved troops away from Sicily based on documents found on a corpse
The tragic story of the man whose death saved 20,000 lives
How this operation influenced D-Day and modern intelligence warfare


This isn't just a spy story. It's about how one elaborate deception, executed with obsessive attention to detail, changed the course of history — and cost one forgotten man everything.
