"British Intelligence during World War II is trying to get the German High Command to shift it's forces away from Italy prior to the invasion. To create the illusion of a plan for England to invade Greece a dead body is to be procured, allowed to be found with secret papers on him by Spanish authorities who will send the papers on to the Germans, or that's the plan. First they have to find a body that will look drowned, and create an identity for him that will pass the examination of the German agent who is sure to check him out. Based on a true story." IMDB user

The true story this is based on is that of Operation Mincemeat and the honorable soldier who volunteered post-mortem.

Respect to British and American Intelligence...

Thanks for the file and seeding it.

A slight correction; no matter what it might say in the synopsis or in this version of the facts, but the body used was not of a dead soldier, but from a man rather down on his luck who died of pneumonia from living on the streets. His father agreed to give his body to MI6 but did not know what it would be used for.
Actually, the body was chosen because the person's parents had both died and was in good condition. He also committed suicide using rat poison
