Excellent ! I’m 72 years old this year. Born in 1949, I believe the movie I saw , “A man with no name “ I watched many years ago. Yes the movie was great and your video really puts the dots on the I’s and your video crosses all the T’s. Thank you, please show more world war ops. Thank you Bob
I remember watching the original movie about this some decades ago and the book 'The Man who never was', A great movie and concept on how to fool a foreign enemy. I am watching the movie Operation Mince Meat but miss the 1956 movie with William Boyd, just showing my age I guess, being 67, you did a great review on a great operation in history. I came here from Low Fruit with Rationality Rules, I think you both are great. Thanks for a great video and I subscribed. Take care and stay well.
Thank you very much! Glad you've been enjoying our work over there. I watched the new film pretty recently myself and experienced a mix of enjoying the actors and all the little details they included but also being frustrated at the additions they made for drama, because somehow there wasn't enough. And I sighed greatly at the stupid buzzsaw watch. 🤦♂️
@@castlesandcuriosities Yes, seems many movies of today do that. Surprised to see the actor Kingsmen, from the bar fight. 👍 Would take the same to fool Joe B. in Amerca.
Came here from Low Fruit, intrigued by the video subject, stayed because the delivery was superb. Genuinely really well put together. Well done! Instant subscribe from me!
A great presentation, accepted historical facts, no spin, no political bias. The mainstream media have a lot to learn from presentations like this. Keep up the good work.
This just popped up on my You Tube feed ........... I knew the story, but it's nice to sit back and just listen. One of these days I'm going to have to get you to help me set up my own channel.
Came to your channel after enjoying the low fruit series. Glad I did. This was fascinating! The bit about searching for used underwear was simultaneously hilarious and illuminating. The lengths these people went to, to make sure this mission succeeded. I feel like in the digital age it kind of seems less impressive what spies with all the tech gadgets do than in the past when they had to manage all this the hard way.
I haven't watched this all yet, but I'd heard of this some years ago. A poor man who never knew how important he would become. He gets respected top late poor guy. Great report, alot more! 👍🥰💖✌
Came back and watched this again as I really enjoyed it the first time. Do you have any idea when you are going to release another video as you're such a good story teller.
Thank you very much! I have my next one in the works, script is almost finished. A timeframe is almost impossible to give unfortunately as I am only able to work on things fairly infrequently. That damn real life thing gets in the way. 😅 all I can say is, its coming!
Please keep up the LowFruit series with Stephen, you two are great! Awesome video here too. Like someone else mentioned, I’m fully expecting the Jesus walked along dinosaurs video…
I tried! 😆 I was going to say Im not great with pronunciation outside English but if I'm totally honest, I don't think I can't grant myself that much 😅
If the teachers had the same passion, well then kids will not put tags in CoD or other fps games things as "Gaza" or some other organizations that not want humans to be better, but to destroy all that was, is and will be... Guess "his-story" comes back , again and again. Wars are immortal for the rats.

I think you mean “the man that never was”. Great film.
Hey mate just wanted to say I just saw you on Rationality Rules and was super impressed, instant subscribe.
You're great at telling stories, kept me captivated all 19 minutes
Truly fascinating! Reminds me of that quote:
"The tragedy of war is that it uses man's best to do man's worst" - Harry Emerson Fosdick

What a fabulous explanation of the operation; had me riveted 👏
Great video, I hope the next one is sooner! :)

I had heard of the story as everybody but I was unaware of so many of the details! Great video!

The long awaited video! Great quality as always
Excellently presented!
The whole operation summed up perfectly! Many thanks.
Thanks for this, Reece. I love the '56 film. Another great deception story is 'I Was Monty's Double'.
I will check it out, thanks for the suggestion!
Played by the real guy who really impersonated Monty in North Africa during the war.

Great true story and well put together as o have always believed fact is stranger than fiction
Thanks a lot mate !! That was really something of a story from that horrible war..
Your communication skills are excellent. Keep it going :)

@@castlesandcuriosities Well I am really looking forward to it. If it is as good as your current collection it should be another excellent tale.
One of the most fascinating and satisfying ops of WWII
Great content. Didn't even make it half way through before I subscribed.
So Mussolini was mincemeat. Good. Very good Glyndwa. Awesome tale of feignt. Thx
BTW - I believe it's "Hook, line, and sinker" ;)
😆 Odly the message they sent was indeed "rod, line and sinker" no idea why is it was sent like that.
Please don't forget the "Jesus walked among dinosaurs"-video
I second this.
Confiscated Underpants would be a good grunge band name.
Are there more Stone Circles, like Stonehenge, around the UK? Or other interesting Druidic artifacts?
Avebury would be one. There are several others, and some hillside chalk images.
Please keep up the LowFruit series with Stephen, you two are great! Awesome video here too. Like someone else mentioned, I’m fully expecting the Jesus walked along dinosaurs video…
Glad to know there's a historical and herioc aspect to colleges being the main exporters of used underwear.
Love the T-shirt: Mk VII ! The tank, right?
Yeah the Churchill.
I'm not a fashionable man. My T-shirts are all war stuff haha.
I enjoyed your video more than the remake of the film with Colin Firth (which I saw last night)
Haha. Well, thanks very much!
I enjoyed the film... I just also have a lot of complaints. 😆
"Born ... in Aberbargo-ed, Wales"
*Cringes in Welsh*
Otherwise, a great and very interesting video.
I tried! 😆 I was going to say Im not great with pronunciation outside English but if I'm totally honest, I don't think I can't grant myself that much 😅
@@castlesandcuriosities It would be something like AberBARgoid as a phonetic pronunciation.
Cholmondeley is absolutely the correct spelling for that name. How else would you spell it? 😜
I love all of these impossibly English names! They sound fake.

Because there is no mincemeat in mincemeat...
You omitted to say Germany lost the war the day they lost the battle of Stalingrad and how Russia saved Europe.
