'''Operation Mincemeat''' was the codename for a plan created and carried out by a small number of British intelligence officers during [[World War II]], with the intent of convincing the [[Third Reich|German]] High Command - through false documents deliberately passed to them - that an Allied invasion into southern Europe through [[Greece]] would take place in mid-1943.  Extremely successful, Mincemeat would cause the Germans to remove a significant amount of troops and armor from [[France]], the eastern front against the [[Soviet Union]], and the island of [[Sicily]] to bolster their forces in Greece and the [[Balkans]]; their acceptance of the ruse allowed for complete Allied victory in [[Operation Husky]], in which the real target of invasion was Sicily.  The success of Mincemeat was further guaranteed by the macabre element central to the plan: the documents were in a briefcase chained to a dead man - with a false identity - who was set adrift at sea.
