On April 30, 1943, a fisherman in Punta Umbría, Spain, found the body of a British officer, Commander William Martin, with an chained briefcase. This event triggered Operation Mincemeat, an elaborate British intelligence strategy during World War II. Before returning the body, the Spanish authorities transcribed the documents in the briefcase, which included false plans for an Allied landing in Greece, information that reached the Germans. However, the real target was Sicily, where the Allies landed three months later. Ben MacIntyre reveals the full story of this espionage operation, including evidence of the complicity of Spanish soldiers with the Nazis, based on original documents.
