A Plan to Be Captured: How Three American Commandos Deceived Their Nazi Captors Before D-Day

A genuinely strange covert operation: three American commandos parachute into Hungary in spring 1944 intending to be captured, hoping to flip Hungary to the Allied side. Germany's preemptive invasion upends the plan, and the men instead use their interrogation to feed Hitler disinformation about Allied invasion plans. SpyCast handles this with proper operational detail — the deception logic, the timing relative to Overlord, and why the mission mattered even after it failed on its primary objective.
