Don't know that there's anything new here but it's interesting all the same.

This was the basis of the movie “The man Who Never was.”

I didn't know there were 90,000 men in a Panzer Division. When I was a boy, Nazi Panzer Division had more like 14,000 men. (U.S. divisions had about 16,000 but slightly less firepower on paper because of fewer automatic weapons. Of course U.S. Divisions were a lot more likely to have their full complement of men and equipment.)

“moved an entire panzer division - 90,000 soldiers - to Greece”

90k soldiers is not a division - it is an Army.

My reading and understanding of the book showed he wasn’t a tramp ... the guy died of pneumonia which made it even more convincing since he washed up on a beach when set afloat from a sub. They went to the guys mother to get permission to use the body but didn’t say what for, just that it was an important war effort....

Recently there were a bunch of Russians running around America for a decade or so.

We caught them, but they weren't doing much.

What else was going on under our noses that we didn't see?

Hitler went right for it. I wonder if Stalin would have?

The genius of this operation was in the subtlety of the clues.

I can’t wait for the YouTube video after the Fuehrer finds out....

They made a movie of it, called “The Man Who Never Was”. It was well done.
