my favourite story about Garbo is he was such a convincing spy that after the war, the SS officer he tricked with the whole D-day thing still didn't blame him, or realise he was in on the trick, and came to visit him in secret where he basically told him "i don't know who i can trust nowadays with the war lost and all, how are we gonna start this all back up? i know out of everyone i can trust you bro" hilarious

He was a finnish man who hated communism so much that he fought the soviets as a soldier in the finnish army during the winter war, the german SS during WW2 and later with the yankees in the Vietnam war. To my knowledge he was awarded many important medals for his "Ruthless bravery" by all of the armies he fought in, such as an iron cross, a bronze star, a purple heart and a finnish flying cross.

You know, in some history lessons, we went a little in depth about the allies vs. Germany in this time, and Germany kept making weird moves that was basically self-sabotaging. There was no mention of why they made those moves, and it was written off as them panicking. I had no idea that a lot of those moves were because of false intelligence. I wish this guy was in the history books.

I guess that hatred of horse owners eventually grows into a hatred of all things horse related 🤷 That and they're ugly, and poor grazers.

The scene starts with everyone trying to hold it in. "Okay guys, be quiet for a few minutes." They all stand around holding hands over their mouths while the Germans solemnly tell them if their defeat, but of how much of an asset he was and that they wish to give him the highest honor possible. He responds to them sounding like he's sobbing, telling them he feels like he doesn't deserve it because for all his efforts he failed. They reassure him that he was one of their best spys and he shouldn't feel upset. They both say goodbye to each other, a sorrowful hitch in their voices. And then as soon as the phone is hung up he and everyone else immediately let out all of their pent up, hysterical laughter.

​​@@LBPBumoutIn at least the first instance when our man "goes" to London, Wendigoon said he just went to Lisbon and then recounting the same episode, he says he was in Spain. It's a minor mistake, but yeah Lisbon is indeed in Portugal and not Spain. I actually think this makes the fact that he somehow got Spanish government ID before being an official spy a lil easier to understand. If he was indeed in Portugal at the time, we were under our own fascist dictator (Salazar, who actually chose to be neutral in wwii) and it's possible that a well placed bribe would be enough to do something like that and not arise suspicions from Spain.

"The Comedy of War" This definitely needs to be a movie. They also recently made a movie about the Operation MIncemeat, in which similarly, the British and American allies worked to fool the Germans into believing they were invading one place when they were actually going to hit another. This also played a HUGE role in how the Normady invasion went, had it not been for these fake outs and the deceptive tactics they used in both Garbo's operations and Mincemeat, things would have been very different. I laughed out loud at some of the absurdity in this one, and I think it, along with the Battle of Castle Itter, both deserve to be dark comedies.
