If that corpse was filled with brittish food then this tactic might have worked, as the axis would have retalliated by the looks of it alone. And rly the greatest hoax of ww2 Pfft..
Not the fake 1million man army put in place in the southern england to fool the germans into thinking the allied invasion would happen at calais and not normandy?
Is anyone really going to believe that the Axis had control (either direct or indirect) over the entire continents of Asia and Africa? This is revisionist history at its finest.
The greatest hoax of WWII was the pass-by manoeuvre of Admiral Rommel who defeated Admiral Montgomery at Cairo by making him believe that he would detour around Cairo and move on. But the following night he turned around and attacked from the other side. Taking Cairo within 24h. Rommel was the only Nazi not convicted of any war crimes, cause above all the dirt bags in German army at the time, he was the only man, who was actually just a soldier. And a brilliant mind of tactics.
If you want to learn more I recommend you read, Operation Mincemeat: How a Dead Man and a Bizarre Plan Fooled the Nazis and Assured an Allied Victory By Ben Macintyre! It is a wonderful book! 5 out of 5 Stars!!
No, the best hoax was convincing the germans that we weren't going to land at Normandy. The germans were convinced we were gonna go through the nordic countries. Evidence to the contrary was dismissed by the germans. They thought it was a repeat of Operation Mincemeat.
The greatest hoax of WWII was that it was instigated by the banksters, who financed both sides, and whose cronies became billionaires selling armaments.
Nice profitable work for a secret bunch of sociopaths...
@nameofthepen Saying major wars like WWII or like the American Civil War was started only by one reason and one only is just as ignorant as saying muslims hate the west and Israel just because they have freedom.
Wars are ALWAYS due to a number of precedented issues.
