Operation Mincemeat

Posted: Sat May 12, 2012 2:21 pm

An operation that saved countless lives by the body of a homeless man. British tricked the Germans thinking that the Allies were going to invade Sardinia instead Sicily by using a dead British soldier which actually was a dead man acting as Major Martin. This gave the success of the Allies and victory of Italy once Sicily fell.

Probably, one of the reasons of the german failure was the secret operations. Without doubt, the allies secret services exceeded the german secret service. In some operations, this aspect was key to victory, for example, in Normandy or Kursk.

Although this was because whenever a German spy was sent into England, they would be captured and forced to be a double agent by the Brits.
