This is excellent.
If you're a military historian / student of the battle of the Civil War and Rev war like I am.... this is most excellent.
I didn't know this story

Those who have an hour to spare...

I don't have an hour right now, but we watched 'Operation Mincemeat' on Netflix a couple of months back. Same subject - trying to trick Germany as to the location of an invasion force?

Anyway, same or not, it was a very well done movie.

Hope to catch up later next week.

Note - just learned that the same story was told in 'The Man Who Never Was' in 1956.

Thanks....

I've read about this story long ago, but it's a perfect time
for it to be watched again.
