Самая Безумная Секретная операция Второй Мировой

In early 1943, Anglo-American forces were preparing for a major landing in Sicily. Capturing the island would open the way to the liberation of all of Italy and further advancement across Europe. However, the fate of this massive operation and hundreds of thousands of soldiers depended on the success of a mad plan devised by several British intelligence officers in a smoke-filled London basement. The ultimate goal seemed almost impossible: to deceive Hitler. In April 1943, British intelligence carried out the most insane espionage operation in its history. The main player was secret agent William Martin. First, the officer was placed in a special metal capsule, then loaded onto a submarine in a Scottish port, transported to the Spanish coast, and then several British sailors threw William Martin into the water. Neither then nor during the entire journey did the spy utter a word. He had been dead for several months. William Martin's name is unknown to the general public. Meanwhile, this man can rightfully be considered one of the main spies of World War II. He was one of the few who managed to deceive Hitler. He was the only one who could do so while dead. This is the story of Operation Mincemeat.
