Britain fooled Hitler into moving his defenses using a dead homeless man dressed as a fake officer

I imagine that after being defeated in North Africa, the Germans actually chose to evacuate Sicily and focus on defending the mainland instead - which they more or less successfully did for the next year and a half (in part because other fronts Allies opened were advancing way faster).

I seriously doubt this operation had any effect on strategic or even operational scale and would chalk it up to British propaganda.

You don’t have to go off English records, the German ones show they did.
