ABOUT
A fascinating account of the ingenious Second World War counter-intelligence plot by the British Intelligence service known as 'Operation Mincemeat'.
The goal of the operation, which took place in 1943, was to mislead the Germans as to where the next allied landing in the Mediterranean would occur. Operation Mincemeat, because of its thorough planning and careful execution, successfully misled the Germans into a belief that the landings would occur in Greece, rather than in Sicily-the true invasion target. As a result, a number of German forces were removed from Sicily to prepare for the believed location of the Allied invasion.
Illustrated with monochrome images.
Maps on end papers.
