Look at I was montys double about m.e. clifton james, his handler!during ww2 was the actor David Niven a sandhurst grad in the UK and SAS ww2 hero. Look at Green Beach the story of Jack nissenthall and the radar station raid at the mainly Canadian Dieppe landing before Normandy, and the other radar rad by another UK svc MBR before him. Look at code name Nimrod about the true story of why d day succeeded, and look as t the escape factory by Lloyd r shoemaker the true story of mis-x mis-y fort hunt VA and theuk mi9 in ww2 with the true story of the great escape not the Steve mcqueen version, and the filthy 13 the true story of the dirty dozen myth.

Don't forget the poor bastards who were assigned to tend to inflatable tanks, and other equipment so that German Recon flights would have a different picture of D-Day painted for them than that of what was actually occurring.

This idea came from Ian Fleming, yes James Bond Creating Ian Fleming. He stole the idea from a detective novel. So had someone in Nazi Germany read a book instead of burning them, this plan may have failed.

Dead Man Floating: World War II's Oddest Operation
In April of 1943, the body of a British Royal Marine washed ashore in Spain, carrying top secret letters about Allied plans to invade Greece and Sardinia. Or so it seemed. In reality, the body was that of a homeless Welsh laborer, and the letters were fakes designed to direct German attention away from the real Allied invasion target: Sicily.
