Perhaps someone can clear this one up.During operation Mincemeat when the British planted fake plans on a dead man(The man who never was)which was washed up in Spanish waters the Germans got wind of it.They wanted to know if this was genuine and contacted an Irish Spy to verify that the dead man was an legitimate Officer in the Royal navy as they took the plans seriously.The spy(Irish) comfirmed it was true and the British intelligence new all about this spy and thats why he wasn't arrested as it would f*** up the plan which turned out to be a great success.
