D-Day was the largest and arguably most important military operation in history. The planning, preparation and sacrifice needed to make it a success is almost unimaginable. Despite this, there was one man who played a much bigger role in that victory than he gets credit for.

Needing some Scotch for his aunts, the Duke offers Pujol something worth its weight in gold: a passport. Find out how this case of Scotch could have been the key to success for all of World War II on this episode of Delicious History!
