True, but, regardless of what the a "Australian" (who keeps posting UK sources) says, this is one of the most famous and important ones.

To decieve Hitler in such a massive way, makes deceiving naive civilians a walk in the park.

Hilarious, it was so famous that Iacoletti hadn't even heard of it! Hahahaha!
And I only knew about it because of the recent film, and even then it was a very minor deception and hardly on the huge scale of the alleged CT scale of faking and lying and 60+ years of cover-up.

Wow, talk about putting a genocidal maniac on a pedestal, do you have a shrine to him to? Because that's just offensive to me since I had many relatives who died and suffered due to that misguided short-sighted megalomaniac with traits of paranoia, but also of anti-social, sadistic, and narcissistic personality disorders.
And to describe the many, many, many experts and scholars who investigated the JFKA at the time and the subsequent years as mere naïve civilians is delusional at best!

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......  :D

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.
