I like the one where in WWII General Patton was stationed in England with blow-up tanks to sucker Hitler into thinking he was going to invade from Port of Colay (the shortest point across the channel). But took the long way & we invaded on the Beaches of Normandy.
We had captured German spies and held guns to their heads and made them send false messages confirming that story. Patton was there basically by himself. And we won!! Yah Baby!

Agreeing with the first responder......Orson Welles in WAR OF THE WORLDS..., but that may not be "in the history in the history of time", right?
