To succeed - they’ll need to get arrested by the Nazis. By March 1944, the war had raged for four and a half years. Tens of millions were already dead. Adolf Hitler knew an Allied invasion was coming and planned to crush it - if only he knew where it would land. If the führer’s forces were in the right place, the Nazis could stop D-Day and continue their murderous control of Europe. But the Allies had a plan. Operation Sparrow called for an elite three-man commando team to drop behind enemy lines, walk into German hands and craft a web of lies strong enough to sway Hitler. The mission seemed impossible: survive Nazi interrogation while making D-Day lies sound true. The three men would risk everything to convince the führer the invasion would strike the Balkans, two thousand kilometres away from Normandy. It was either genius or suicidal. Probably both.
