Man single-handedly bluffed 23,000 Nazis to surrender
A Scottish officer in the British army, Tommy Macpherson single-handedly convinced 23,000 Nazi troops to surrender during the World War II. He bluffed the German officer into believing that he was in command of a brigade, tanks and artillery, and could even summon the air force. Although Macpherson really had very few men with him, the Germans surrendered to him.
