During World War 2, the British army had a strange way to distract enemies and achieve success. He made the information jamming plan called Operation Mincemeat to make the fascist faction mistakenly believe that the Allies would fight, taking Greece instead of Sicily - where they actually landed in July 1943. To implement this plan, the British army used the body of a homeless man and disguised the corpse as a major marine. They tucked into this man's pocket a fake document about "the plan to pour troops into Greece" before dropping into the waters off Spain. Later, the London government contacted the Madrid government by searching for and recovering the body "an English soldier carrying important documents".

Receiving the above important information, Spain under dictator Franco transferred the "confidential " documents to the Nazis. Receiving fake news without knowing it, Hitler's commander ordered a move from Sicily to protect Greece. As a result, the Nazis were unable to catch up when the Allies landed the island during Operation Husky.
