Still looking for a way out, I see....

I never said I was an historian.
I said I was interested in the aspects that directly affected me, hence the usage of "vested" interest.
Your famous event was unheard of by Iacoletti.

You've already lost, give up before you embarrass yourself even further.

John Iacoletti never claimed to have a vested interest in WW2. You did!

And Operation Mincemeat was a well kept secret (as was Bletchley Park) for many years.
Much in the same way that Churchill had Turing's bomb and Flower's colossus destroyed after the war was won, because he did not want Stalin to find out Hitler's codes were cracked.

Famous events are usually well known? No?

Operation Mincemeat is also a "fast-paced, hilarious" London and Broadway musical comedy, https://www.broadway.org/shows/operation-mincemeat, so surely "Harvey & Lee: The Musical" is waiting in the wings. I can think of any number of JFKA conspiracy theories that would be perfect for this treatment. I see Cyndi Lauper as Ruth Paine, with a JFKA-oriented version of "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun." Taylor Swift, of course, is Jackie.

Unlike you, I don't need Google to know and understand history.

"History" accounts to the grand total of the entire sum of Human actions and knowledge since man first put his memories in cave paintings, and if you know and understand all that, then congratulations!
