Operation Mincemeat

Britain plan to invade France

Dec, 1942
North African

British planners considered that an invasion of France from Britain could not take place until 1944 and the Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, wanted to use the Allied forces from North Africa to attack Europe's "soft underbelly".
