Part 4/10:
Recognizing the necessity for an elaborate diversion, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill assembled the London Controlling Section—an ultra-secret group of military and intelligence officials. Among them were Charles Chumley and Ewan Montague, whose daring plan would soon unfold. The central tenet of their strategy? To launch a dead body into enemy waters and arm it with misinformation.
The plan required finding a suitable corpse—one that had no ties or connections that could raise suspicions. After months of searching, the body of Glendower Michael—a 34-year-old Welsh laborer who had died under unremarkable circumstances—was selected. His backstory was crafted to fit the narrative of a British officer whose plane had gone down.
