WHAT IS THE MOVIE ABOUT? 

During the Second World War, the British Army hatched a plan to loosen the grip
of the Nazi troops over Italy. So they falsified documents and released a dead
body disguised as the Captain of the Army near the shores of Spain. All in hopes
to make the Nazis believe that the Allies’ next target is Greece. And the plan
worked.

Hitler sent all his troops and forces to defend Greece, meanwhile, the allied
forces invaded Sicily to liberate it. It was Ewen Montagu and Charles
Cholmondeley that planned the mission. Surprisingly, it was issued from the same
memo of the man who created 007. The British Officers took inspiration from Ian
Fleming’s Trout Memo in 1939. It detailed 54 ways of deceiving enemies.
