From the headline I thought this was going to be about Operation Mincemeat (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Mincemeat http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Mincemeat) which is a pretty amazing story.
- sliverstorm 16y agoI thought the same thing, and was very skeptical about all this 'published for the first time!' as I could swear there was a fictional-historical movie made around the 60's based on the premise of Operation Mincemeat!
- tygorius 16y agoPerhaps you're thinking of "36 Hours", where German psychologist Rod Taylor tries to convince drugged and captured Army officer James Garner that the war is long over, the Nazis vanquished, but he's suffering from amnesia that occurred years later. As part of your therapy to recover your memory, if you could just confirm that you remember where and when the invasion occurred... Mincemeat is offstage, but I think it was part of the set up. Saw it in a theater when I was a lad -- too young to properly appreciate Eva Marie Saint, alas.
- dlokshin 16y agoEasily my favorite spy story from WWII. For those interested, fantastic book on Operation Mincemeat: http://www.amazon.com/Man-Who-Never-Was-Counter-Intelligence/dp/1557504482/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1296137984&sr=8-3 http://www.amazon.com/Man-Who-Never-Was-Counter-Intelligence...
