Re: Useful information thread
Many have heard that in WW2 there was an amazing military operation (Operation Mincemeat).
They took a dead body, in a submarine from Holy Loch, Scotland.
They created a false identify ( William Martin) and in his bag were private documents including a love letter to his fiance, Pam, amongst other things. This was to create a complete identity and persona. They dressed him as a Royal Marine.
Also in his bag were secret documents about the allied plans to invade the Balkans. All faked.
The Nazis fell for it and diverted forces there.
This lead to us invading and securing Scicily.
So why this post on the Ayamonte forum??
I just found out in a documentary, that the body washed up in..... The beach of.... Huelva!!
Very interesting
