Operation Cornflakes information


The original text Deutsches Reich ('German Empire') was maintained for the standard forgeries, but was changed to Futsches Reich ('Ruined Empire') on the "Death Head" variant, a focus of American forgers

Operation Cornflakes was a morale operation by the Office of Strategic Services during World War II that aimed to trick Deutsche Reichspost into inadvertently delivering anti-Nazi propaganda to German citizens through mail.[1]

The operation involved special planes that were instructed to airdrop bags of false, but properly addressed, mail in the vicinity of bombed mail trains. When recovering the mail during clean-up of the wreck, the postal service would hopefully confuse the false mail for the real thing and deliver it to the various addresses.[1]
