ABSTRACT
The fisherman immediately called the authorities and the Spanish military. They collected the body and took it back to headquarters. The information from England matched the body they had in custody. The German officials decided the information was true and informed Hitler of their amazing find. Operation Mincemeat was such a success that the German Army waited in Greece for 2 weeks looking for the invasion that never came. By keeping the German Army out of Italy, it helped the Allies take back the European front.
