The video discusses the V2 rocket, a deadly missile used by the Nazis during WWII. The British, lacking a defense against it, devised a counterintelligence strategy called Double Cross. This involved using captured German agents to send deceptive information back to Berlin. Agent Tate, a key figure in this plan, worked with MI6 and MI5 to mislead the Nazis about the success of their attacks, ultimately saving lives by redirecting rocket targets to less populated areas.
