Located here. https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6258073 Glyndwr Michael (1909-1943) was a native of Aberbargoed. After his death, he was The Man Who Never Was, a strategy which played a major part in the course of World War II. His corpse, disguised as a Royal Marines officer, was put into the Mediterranean with a briefcase containing documents which convinced the Germans that the Allies planned to attack Greece in the summer of 1943. The real target was Italy.
