Operation Mincemeat

[Martin Weidmann]

It seems to me that somebody needs to do some actual research before spouting of his opinions about a subject he knows nothing about, except for watching a movie.

More worthless self serving assumptions, as I do after watching any docudrama, I of course "research" the subject to see how closely the film came to the actual history. And in this case, the film's depiction of these events came pretty close.
As I said, I have a vested interest in WW2 and find many aspects about why and what happened to be very revealing and I hope that mankind can learn from it's prior mistakes, but looking around the World at the present time I'm afraid that greedy Men hungry for power will always be a problem.

A guy who claims to have a vested interest in WW2 hasn't heard of Operation Mincemeat until he watches a movie......

As the name implies, World War 2, was a massive World wide event with many events spanning the globe and over half a decade in length so this relatively obscure British event flew under my radar because as I previously alluded to, my "vested" interest was more orientated by my families horrific and tragic history.
But if as you say this event was so famous than why wasn't Icoletti even aware? Hahaha!

This silly comment alone shows just how little knowledge you actually have about World War 2.

Still looking for a way out, I see....

I never said I was an historian.
I said I was interested in the aspects that directly affected me, hence the usage of "vested" interest.
Your famous event was unheard of by Iacoletti.

You've already lost, give up before you embarrass yourself even further.
