6:55 Musical is the worst genre ever concieved by the human civilisation imo…
And it comes from someone, who loves music – I just hate, when actors are the ones to sing on the stage… A theatrical play is not a bloody concert, for the love od Our Lord…

This is wild. I've heard of some seriously messed up psy-ops, but this is up there. 😮

Have you ever taken a look at the Highgate Vampire Qxir? It's got it all. A true modern day battle between good and bad, light and darkness 😂👍

Something to note: there are actually four theories over who the body belonged to. The one mentioned in the video is the most commonly accepted one, and is backed up by public records, and claims the body belonged to a Welshman named Glyndwr Michael. Another theory comes from the testimony of the intelligence officer tasked with sourcing the body, which claims the body belonged to a pneumonia victim, whose family consented to his body being used under the stipulation that his identity remain a secret. The last two theories claim the body belonged to one of the victims of the sinking of the HMS Dasher, either John Melville or Tom Martin, and cite the potential risk involved with using a body belonging to a man who didn't die by drowning and who didn't fulfill the fitness standards of a serviceman.

I just saw the musical!

Bruh, to say that sicily has better food then balkans is utterly ridicolous. East side of the adriatic sea has everything same, mediterranean cousine plus the meat from ottoman influence

But then again, its about english, they are world champions in the worst food possible

4:09 : And why this particular picture? 😀 German spies were using birds and monkes back then?? 😀

Super relatable, I live in America so our economy relies on being the worlds bullies bc the weapons mfgs are too big and evil, then there was a attempted reichstag fire moment, when our govt took out this guy named Charlie Kirk, they faked love letters about the person they framed that were supposedly sent after he had been in custody for hours.

damn

So the UK knows what to do when they get 007's corpse back

The intelligence world of late WW2 is equal parts fascinating and mind-boggling. My favourite ones are: The Allies went from wanting Hitler dead, to actively keeping him in charge once it became clear he was a detriment and the Abwehr had a MASSIVE problem with Allied double agents because so many of their agents were getting caught or handing themselves in

I'm guessing this was the body that "washed up" onto Spain's coast holding the "invasion Plans" for Italy.

Is this a re-upload or I just misremember channels

Dead guy – "Damn, if I'd known I was a war hero, I would have lived off the pension rather than eat Ratsak…"

There was recently a movie about this. It has Ian Fleming in it for some reason

That was a perfect Qxir summary of a hugely complex story (with lots of errors, but, see above).

And… your man is right… the whole idea of there being a 'musical' about Operation Mincemeat is utterly offensive. Like, seriously disrespectful and utterly offensive.

RIP Glyndwr Michael.

3:13 fun fact boche (pronounced bosh) was a pejorative term for germans, taken from the french boche tête (cabbage head)
