Operation Mincemeat by Ben Macintyre

 During World War II, the Allies wanted to gain a toehold in Southern Europe via Sicily. But they didn’t want the Nazis to know. So an elaborate plan was hatched to make the Nazis think we were going to invade Greece and Sardinia. Then the Nazis would move troops and equipment to Greece and Sardinia.
