Joseph Horace "Jack" Greasley confronts Himmler (25 December 1918 – 4 February 2010) Horace was an English prisoner of war who later gained fame for escaping from his camp over 200 times, and returning into captivity each time. Horace's repeated escapes were due to a secret love affair with an interpreter named Rosa Rauchbach, a local Silesian girl. His only reason for returning to the camp was due to the lack of a place to go after escape as each camp was surrounded by German-occupied countries.The prisoners were also well aware of what happened to those that had tried to flee to other countries

“Operation Cornflakes was a mission to trick the German postal service into inadvertently delivering anti-Nazi propaganda to German citizens.

“Special planes airdropped bags of false, but properly addressed, mail in the vicinity of bombed mail trains. When recovering the mail, the postal service would confuse the false mail for the real thing. Copies of this ‘death head’ stamp were inserted in the envelopes along with other propaganda materials.”
