A Nazi Edition of a British Newspaper

Tuesday October 4, 2005
A Nazi-forged edition of the London Evening Standard was released by British security agency MI5 to the country's national archives last month. The paper, dated February 17, 1940, details fictitious accounts of British losses in World War II. Obviously designed as propaganda, it is not known if the fake newspaper was read by anyone in the United Kingdom.
