from Covert Operations and National Security · host Circle Of Insight Productions

With the 1943 invasion of Sicily looming, Allied forces turned to unconventional psychological warfare to execute one of the greatest military hoaxes in human history. We dissect the covert operational logistics of planting a body rigged with fabricated, top-secret invasion blueprints off the coast of neutral Spain. Learn how the calculation paid off, successfully forcing Adolf Hitler to redeploy massive divisions of German troops to Greece based entirely on a ghost.
