What is Operation Mincemeat about?

The year is 1943 and we’re losing the war. Luckily, we’re about to gamble all our futures on a stolen corpse!

Operation Mincemeat is the true story of a Second World War MI5 operation with a macabre twist. This is a tale that pits some forged papers and a strategically deployed corpse against the Nazis. To distract German attention from a planned Allied invasion of Sicily, the body of a tramp who had died from eating rat poison was dressed in a Royal Marines uniform, equipped with misleading ‘top secret’ documents, and set adrift off the Spanish coast as if he were the casualty of an air crash…. and it only gets more bonkers from there!
