Double Agents: Spies Who Trapped Their Own Handlers — Factsmatic

What if a spy could fool an entire intelligence service using nothing but imagination? During the Second World War, Spanish double agent Juan Pujol García, codenamed Garbo, created a fictional network of agents to feed Nazi Germany fabricated intelligence. Working with British intelligence, he helped convince German commanders that the Allied invasion would target Pas-de-Calais rather than Normandy, contributing to the deception surrounding D-Day. Germany even awarded him the Iron Cross, while Britain secretly honoured him with an MBE. His extraordinary story shows how one man’s invented network became a powerful weapon of wartime deception. #JuanPujolGarcia #Garbo #DoubleAgents #WorldWarII #DDay #Espionage #SpyHistory #MilitaryDeception #HistoryFacts #Factsmatic Juan Pujol García explained, Agent Garbo, World War II double agent, fictional spy network, Nazi intelligence deception, Operation Fortitude, D-Day deception, MI5 secret operations, wartime espionage, Factsmatic
