The true extent of Nazi secret agent activity in Britain during the
Second World War has received little attention. In large part this
is due to the highly classified nature of the subject. This
fascinating book uses recently released documents to explore how
German agents penetrated our borders and explains methods of agent
recruitment. Some spies were arrested and handed over the MI5 for
interrogation. Several were turned and became double-cross' agents,
while others were tried and executed or incarcerated in Camp 020
and other facilities. There were also those who came and left
undetected and were only revealed after Nazi records were seized.
The story, however, does not end there. While British authorities
urged the public to beware of spies and posters warned careless
talk costs lives,' the actual existence of Nazi collaborators in
Britain was played down. Author Neil R Storey's discovery of MI5's
and Regional Security Panels' Black Lists' of those considered to
be likely to assist the enemy' in the event of invasion reveals the
climate of fear along with the identities and case studies of
suspected Nazi collaborators in key invasion areas. This book is a
gripping expos of the very real threat posed by Nazi undercover
operatives and collaborators in Britain during the Second World
War.
