Ladies Who London

Ep 13 - Westminster - Operation Mincemeat, an audacious plot


Listen Later

When you want subterfuge and exciting deception, who do you turn to? James Bond might be a pretty decent option, and that is where we begin our chat today, talking about Operation Mincemeat. This was one of the most audacious Allied plots ever conceived, and it is full of weird details and exciting counter-espionage movements, such as a corpse, a fake  fiancée and deception of epic proportions

Join Alex and Emily to find out more about one of the best WW2 plots ever devised.

Plus we find out who won the Podcast Pedestal, and we spin the Wheel of Destiny to find out where we are going next!
