A documentary that looks at the World War 2 deception of 1943. British Naval intelligence devised a plan so ludicrous that Churchill loved it, the German High Command fell for it, and Allied forces acted on it, allowing them to invade southern Europe via Sicily. A plot so far fetched, you'll think it was fiction. Not since the Trojan horse has a military deception had such an impact on the world.
