Description
The Man Who Never Was by Ewen Montagu is a fascinating account of a remarkable deception plan during World War II. In 1943, British counter-intelligence agent Ewen Montagu orchestrated an operation to mislead the Germans into believing that the next Allied invasion would occur in Greece, rather than Sicily. As part of this innovative plot, a dead body was dressed as a Royal Marine officer and left to wash up on a Spanish shore near a known Nazi agent's location. The plan was so successful that German forces were moved away from Sicily, with two weeks into the real invasion still expecting an attack in Greece. This extraordinary story highlights the ingenuity and bravery of those involved. This book provides a detailed and intriguing look at one of the most remarkable operations of World War II, shedding light on the creative and sometimes unconventional tactics employed by British intelligence agents during this period.
