"[...] A British cemetery was also built for them in Huelva, though its most famous occupant was not a mining employee, but the central character in one of the most successful intelligence ploys of the Second World War, depicted in the film “The Man Who Never Was”. With the consent of his family, the body of a man who had died of pneumonia, was dressed in British military uniform and dropped overboard from a ship in a faked drowning incident off the shores of Huelva in 1943. With false identity papers and documents containing misleading information about planned allied D-day landings at Calais (not Normandy), as intended he was found by a local fisherman, handed over to the resident German consul and the information forwarded to the German High Command. Buried in the British Cemetery in Huelva under the false name, his true identity was not revealed until his family visited the grave after the war."
