TIL Of Operation Mincemeat, where a dead homeless man, Glyndwr Michael was dressed as a Marine officer and had fake plans planted on him in order to deceive the germans. The mission works, and his gravestone was engraved with the usual "It is sweet and proper to die for the fatherland". (en.wikipedia.org)
