The Man Who Never Was
By Ewen Montagu
Archival Summary & Scope
The true story behind WWII's "Operation Mincemeat," now a major film starring Colin Firth as its mastermind Ewen Montagu. In 1943, Montagu orchestrated a daring deception: a corpse with fake invasion plans was floated off Spain, successfully convincing the Nazi High Command the Allies would attack Greece, not Sicily. In this celebrated post-war memoir, *The Man Who Never Was*, Montagu reveals the ingenious bluff that diverted German forces and changed the course of the war.Archival Categorization Notes
