Juan Pujol Garcia, better known as Garbo, was perhaps the most
influential spy of World War II. By feeding false information to the
Germans on the eve of the D-Day landings he ensured their absence in
great numbers from Normandy's beaches. This allowed the Allied push
against Hitler to begin. Amazingly, Garbo's cover was never broken.
After the war Juan Pujol Garcia faked his own death and moved to
Venezuela where he opened a book store. He died in Caracas in 1988.
