    The Man Nobody Wanted — How Juan Pujol Garcia Fooled Hitler and Saved D-Day

    Season 1, Episode 1 — The Spies & Secret Wars

    He had no military background. No intelligence training. No government connections. British intelligence turned him away. So he went home, sat at his kitchen table in Lisbon, and invented an entire network of twenty-seven secret agents — none of whom existed — and began feeding Nazi Germany some of the most consequential false information in the history of warfare.

    Juan Pujol Garcia — code name Garbo — would go on to help save D-Day. The Germans trusted him so completely that they awarded him the Iron Cross. He was working to destroy them from the moment they met him.

    In this episode, Amanda and Harry unwind one of the most extraordinary intelligence stories of World War II.
