Code Name Mincemeat: The deception operations that helped end WW2
[BBC] British intelligence agent Ewen Montagu's view of Welshman Glyndwr Michael may be somewhat harsh.

After all, after his death aged 34, he helped to end World War Two months earlier than it could have ended, saving hundreds of thousands of lives.

In April 1943, his corpse was used for Operation Mincemeat, the most audacious hoax of the conflict.

It duped the Germans into redeploying entire regiments away from Sicily to Greece and the Balkans.
