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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIllustrated with monochrome images.\u003cbr\u003e\nMaps on end papers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCONDITION\u003cbr\u003e\nExcellent with wear\/damage\/repairs on dust jacket, faint marks on page edges, pages otherwise clean and unmarked.
