Subject: corkscrew thinkers fig.of.sp. Добрый день.Не могу ничего найти для перевода corkscrew thinkers. The best way to fake a top secret letter was to get a real general to write it. Michael/Martin was but a prop in Operation Mincemeat, brainchild of Ian Fleming, and put into action by Cholmondeley and Montagu, Churchill's "corkscrew thinkers" in the War Office. Помогите, пожалуйста. |

нестандартно мыслящие Churchill also deliberately recruited oddballs, amateurs and lateral thinkers to perform this sort of work, knowing that another key component of successful spying is the ability to understand how other men think, and then think differently. Admiral John Godfrey, Ian Fleming’s boss in Naval Intelligence, identified a “corkscrew mind” as the essential prerequisite for espionage work. |

Thank you, nephew. I wonder who coined it ... |
