in 1943, the allies were getting ready to invade sicily, and british intelligence were looking for a way to deceive the axis powers into thinking that the invasion would take place elsewhere.
the plan they adopted involved outfitting a dead man with a uniform, and papers placed in his pockets identified him as major william martin. a british submarine then put him into the sea near huelva, spain. a briefcase chained to his wrist contained fake letters hinting that the allied attack would be against sardinia and greece. when the body was found, the papers were passed to the german high command. the ruse worked. when the allies invaded sicily, the germans were so convinced of the allies' intention to take sardinia and greece that they let two weeks go by before realising that the invasion was not a diversion. the allies completely conquered sicily in a month.
