Taking care of your health just got easier – start here with my sponsor Zocdoc: https://Zocdoc.com/whyfiles On April 30, 1943, in the middle of World War II, a body washed up on the shore of Huelva, Spain. The deceased man was wearing a British military uniform. There was a briefcase strapped to his body containing British and American military secrets. The man was Major William Martin, a British Royal Marine who was the single victim of a fatal plane crash at sea. He had just returned from temporary leave in London, where he had gone to the theater and purchased an engagement ring for his fiancee, Pam. But there was something very strange about Major William Martin. He didn’t exist. #CIA #History #WorldWar2 〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰 EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS: Gino Gentile Jennifer Gentile AJ Gentile Patreon Members THANK YOU MODS: jengen13 (Mrs. Why Files) Victoria Young Loolykins JohnnyBGood Cricket Hybrid Paul Rohrbaugh Runelady Mischief Guilty Kiam Timothy Weal Messor Zanythos - Reddit Original Jim - Reddit 〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰 SOURCES & LINKS https://msalaoporta.blogspot.com/2021/07/german-occupied-europe-map-ww2-map-of.html https://www.npr.org/2010/06/12/127742365/dead-man-floating-world-war-iis-oddest-operation https://www.nationalww2museum.org/war/articles/secret-agents-secret-armies-operation-mincemeat https://www.thevintagenews.com/2018/07/04/operation-mincemeat/?chrome=1 https://archive.org/details/operationminceme00maci/page/11/mode/2up?q=%22not+a+very+nice+one%22 〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰 🙏 SUPPORT THE WHY FILES 🙏 https://www.patreon.com/thewhyfiles (Fun, Free Perks!) 👽 BUY WHY FILES MERCH 👽 👽 https://shop.thewhyfiles.com (Code: LIZZIDPEEPLE for 10% off first order) 👽 💬 CHAT WITH US ON DISCORD 💬 💬 https://thewhyfiles.com/discord 💬 〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰 🌐 OFFICIAL WEB SITE: https://thewhyfiles.com 🕵️ Submit a topic, suggestion or just say hi: 🕵️ https://thewhyfiles.com/tips 🎨 Have a product suggestion or want to design artwork for TWF? 🎨 https://thewhyfiles.com/merch 📸 BE A WHY FILES MODEL (and get free stuff!) 📸 Send a photo of you/family/friends watching TWF, 📸 wearing TWF gear, using TWF merchandise: 📸 https://thewhyfiles.com/wild 〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰 🎧 THE PODCAST VERSION 🎧 🎧 https://thewhyfiles.com/podcast 🎧 〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰 ▪TWF ON THE WEBS ▪https://www.reddit.com/r/TheWhyFiles/ ▪https://twitter.com/OMGTheWhyFiles ▪https://www.instagram.com/OMGTheWhyFiles ▪https://www.rumble.com/thewhyfiles ▪https://thewhyfiles.locals.com ▪https://www.tiktok.com/@thewhyfiles ▪https://www.facebook.com/OMGTheWhyFiles 〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰 🐠 BETTER CHANNELS TO WATCH: 🐠 https://www.youtube.com/c/HecklefishMoriarty 🤓 https://www.youtube.com/c/TheWhyFilesBackstage
