A World War II mystery over a "failed Nazi invasion" at a remote beach in Suffolk may have been manufactured by Britain's head of propaganda, a BBC documentary suggests.
The BBC East Inside Out team investigated the events of 1940 at Shingle Street for Monday night's programme.
The programme suggests that Sefton Delmer, a former Daily Express journalist who organised Britain's "black" propaganda unit, may have spread rumours of a failed invasion to boost morale.
The rumours may have have even been used to cover up the loss of lives on a British naval destroyer.
