This is a rendition of Ewen Montagu, a British Naval Intelligence officer during World War II. He was the mastermind behind Operation Mincemeat, a weird but brilliant plan involving dressing up a corpse and filling his pockets with fake intelligence to make the Axis powers think an upcoming Allied invasion was of Greece and not Sicily, the real target. I love the way this guy thought. If you want to learn more, I strongly recommend Ben MacIntyre's book on the subject, Operation Mincemeat. It's a story of elaborate attention to detail and remarkable creativity, and definitely worth checking out.
