	Operation Mincemeat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Operation Mincemeat was a highly successful British deception plan during World War II to convince the German High Command (OKW) that the Allies would invade the Balkans and Sardinia instead of Sicily, the actual objective.
		They then opened the canister, fitted Major Martin with a life jacket, secured his briefcase with the papers, and the 39th Psalm was read and the body was gently pushed into the sea where the tide would bring it ashore.
		Even then the effect of Mincemeat was still being felt, for the Germans remained convinced for two more weeks that the main attack would be in Sardinia and Greece.
