00:00Meet the man who fooled Hitler.
00:02In 1943, the Allies needed a way to invade Sicily, so they came up with a plan.
00:06They took a dead German soldier, dressed him in a British uniform, slipped fake documents
00:11in his pockets, gave him a fake fiancé, a fake life, and then they dumped his body off
00:15the coast of Spain, and waited.
00:17Nazi spies found the body, read the top secret plans, swallowed the bait, hook line, and warships.
00:23Hitler himself moved his troops away from Sicily to protect it, all because of a dead
00:27man who never existed, and the spy who wrote his story never fired a single bullet.
00:31If that's not the most badass thing you've heard all day, I don't know what is.
00:35See you tomorrow.
