00:08World War II is over.
00:14The Allies have occupied Germany.
00:19But British women agents remain lost across Europe.
00:24Fire!
00:30Spymaster Vera Atkins now has a permanent position with the British Air Force
00:35to find her lost women spies.
00:39And she enlists the help of a crack team of SAS Nazi hunters,
00:44led by Major Bill Barkworth.
00:50Barkworth reports about a hidden concentration camp in eastern France,
00:55designed to make secret agents disappear without a trace.
01:02And the possibility that some of Vera's lost women spies may have died there.
01:11As Vera gathers evidence for the trials of leading Nazis,
01:15the horrors she is uncovering are too much for the authorities back in London.
01:22Vera receives a clear order.
01:24I need you to keep this disgusting business out of the newspapers.
01:29The true stories of all her lost women spies must be kept covered up.
01:35At all costs.
01:46The 11th of March, 1946.
01:51Nearly nine months since the end of the war in Europe.
01:59Vera is based at the British War Crimes Office in Germany,
02:04where her promotion allows her to travel the country to hunt for her lost women spies.
02:14Two names stand out.
02:30Vera is sent by Major Barkworth an interrogation report of prison crematorium worker France Berg.
02:45Berg claims Noor was killed along with three other women spies at the Natsweiler camp in July 1944.
02:55But a warder at Karlsruhe prison, Fräulein Becker,
03:00says she remembers Noor being in Karlsruhe many months later.
03:04Vera already has an eyewitness testimony from Natsweiler saying that Noor is dead.
03:12And now she has another eyewitness testimony saying,
03:14no, that is not true.
03:18Noor could still be alive.
03:23The other name is Violette Sabo.
03:28Violette left her one-year-old child behind to take up arms,
03:33a child whose father had already given his life in the war effort.
03:39Nazis won't know what hit them.
03:41Very good.
03:44Violette Sabo's situation is particularly sad because she lost her husband,
03:50who never actually met their daughter, gave birth to a child.
03:54And she left her child back with her family in the UK and parachuted into France.
04:01So determined was she to keep fighting against the Nazis.
04:06Violette was last heard of at the women's concentration camp at Ravensbrück,
04:12a camp from where Vera's agents Odette Sansom and Yvonne Bazden have both returned.
04:21So is Violette also alive?
04:27Vera never gives up hope.
04:29There's always this little sliver of hope that some of them would be alive.
04:33They may be in a terrible condition, but they are alive.
04:36Or they would have escaped and they will show up.
04:41So she keeps this hope in her when she goes, but she is prepared for the worst.
04:46And as she is uncovering these stories, Vera is getting hardened.
04:51The torture she's hearing about, it is hardening her.
04:57We have arrested an SS lieutenants from a camp north of Berlin.
05:03Which camp?
05:05Ravensbrück.
05:15Ravensbrück is Violette Sabo's camp.
05:20Is this the stroke of luck that Vera badly needs?
05:39SS lieutenant Johann Schwarzhuber was second in command at Ravensbrück.
05:49Schwarzhuber is a very important person for Vera to be able to interview
05:54because he holds absolutely crucial information
05:57about three of the women that she is looking for
06:01that she has since found out were taken to Ravensbrück concentration camp.
06:08Yes?
06:28No, sir.
06:33There's nothing to happen.
06:42this one
06:46she had the name Violette
06:53and
06:55what happened to her
06:59all three
07:00were taken to the crematorium building of the camp
07:05and one by one
07:07they were shot
07:15how do you know
07:21I watched
07:35Vera now has testimony
07:37that along with Violette
07:39Lillian Rolfe
07:40and Denise Block
07:41were executed
07:43at the Ravensbrück concentration camp
07:45north of Berlin
07:49Vera must have been absolutely shocked
07:51to hear this information
07:53she would have clung on to any last thread of hope
07:56that the women had survived the camp
07:58as she heard of these women
07:59who she'd been so affectionate for
08:01who she had really travelled across Europe
08:04and in dreadful conditions
08:06trying to find out what had happened to them
08:08and finally
08:09she has the evidence
08:10that these three women were murdered
08:21Vera personally writes letters
08:23for the bereaved families
08:25each one
08:26detailing her search for these spies
08:29missing
08:29presumed dead
08:31Vera would have felt
08:33shocked
08:34and upset
08:35but to some extent
08:36I think she might have also felt relief
08:38she had closure on this story
08:42and although it wasn't the end
08:43she would have wanted
08:44or hoped for
08:45she was finally able to tell the families
08:48of these three women
08:49what had happened to them
08:50and they were able to finally understand
08:53what their daughters, wives, children
08:55had gone through
08:56and what they had sacrificed for their country
09:06each letter
09:07has to be assessed
09:08by her superiors
09:10to make sure
09:11Vera doesn't give away
09:12any incriminating evidence
09:17Vera is in a very difficult position
09:19because
09:19the fact that there were women agents
09:22is not yet common knowledge
09:23they want to keep it out of the public eye
09:25because it's a very difficult thing
09:27to try and explain to families
09:29and acquaintances
09:30and loved ones
09:31that actually your daughter was sent
09:33into harm's way
09:35without protection
09:36without the protection
09:37of the Geneva Convention
09:38or the Hague Convention
09:39without the protection
09:41of the British government effectively
09:42they were meant to be completely deniable
09:44if they were captured
09:46or caught
09:46or indeed killed
09:52but there remain other spies
09:54who are unaccounted for
09:56like Noor Inayat Khan
09:59who
09:59with two other agents
10:01was last seen
10:02at the Natzweiler camp
10:03in the mountains of eastern France
10:08in a few months
10:09the Natzweiler war crimes trial
10:11will start
10:12and Vera
10:13has been instructed
10:14to gather as much evidence
10:16as she can
10:17but
10:18she can't do it
10:19alone
10:24in the spring of 1946
10:26Vera travels
10:28to Garganau
10:29a small town
10:30near Karlsruhe
10:43it's here
10:44she visits
10:44Major Bill Barkworth
10:45at a property
10:47his SAS unit
10:48have commandeered
10:49called
10:49the Villa Daigler
10:52Vera Atkins
10:54good to finally meet you
10:56and you sir
10:57yes
11:01Barkworth
11:02has offered Vera
11:03the chance
11:03to get a witness statement
11:05from a former
11:06Natzweiler prisoner
11:08a man who worked
11:10as a crematorium stoker
11:12and is currently
11:13held captive
11:14in the cellars
11:15of the Villa
11:15along with other prisoners
11:17rounded up
11:17by Barkworth's
11:18Nazi hunter unit
11:19his name
11:21is Franz Berg
11:24Berg's testimony
11:25is key
11:26to whether Vera
11:27can get a conviction
11:28against those
11:30who ran the camp
11:30and may have murdered
11:32her women agents
11:33the next women
11:41to be killed
11:41by injection
11:48rather than gassing
11:49were
11:50two English
11:51and two French women
12:04they were brought
12:06to the cells
12:06in the crematorium
12:07building
12:07one afternoon
12:09in July
12:101944
12:25we
12:26me
12:27and the other prisoners
12:30could see through
12:31the fan light
12:32without standing up
12:38we heard
12:39low voices
12:42we heard
12:43noises
12:44of
12:44every breathing
12:46and low groaning
12:49next to women
12:51we heard
12:52the same noises
12:53and
12:54regular groans
12:56but the fourth
12:58she resisted
13:00in the corridor
13:03I heard her say
13:05why
13:06why
13:07why
13:07why
13:35when
13:47Diese
13:48and
14:01I
14:03can't
14:04a
14:04point
14:04a statement that she can use at the upcoming Natsweiler war crimes trial, a testimony identifying
14:12that some of Vera's agents, including Noor, were killed at the camp. But even with Berg's
14:20testimony, this is only one man's recollection. Vera needs more evidence.
14:30Vera continues her preparation for the Natsweiler war crimes trial. Thanks to Barkworth, she
14:39now has Berg's testimony and other witness statements. But Vera lacks a critical piece
14:45of evidence if she wants to convict those who ran Natsweiler.
14:52Vera needed hard evidence. If she wants to bring those perpetrators to justice, she needs
14:59to gather enough of the hard evidence that will stand up in a court of law to actually bring
15:07them to justice. Vera needs documentary evidence, something that ties those who ran the camp with
15:15her missing agents. So Vera tries to find documents that show which of her agents were murdered
15:23at Natsweiler. Four of her agents were sent there from Karlsruher prison. Surely Fräulein
15:33Becker, at Karlsruher, would have kept records.
15:39I need to see your records. Now, please. We don't have any. I can't imagine that. The
15:48French. When they came, they destroyed everything. Smashed it all up. All gone.
15:59Fräulein Becker tells Vera that all the prison documents were destroyed by the French. Now,
16:06that reeks of a lie. Vera must have known she was lying. Why would the French go to a German
16:11prison and just randomly destroy all the records? But she's nowhere finding out unless Fräulein
16:18Becker tells her the truth. And how is she going to get her to do that?
16:25Vera chooses to visit Becker again. This time with the S.A.S.
16:41At Karlsruher prison, Barkworth and Vera confront Fräulein Becker.
16:48Where are they?
16:50Where are what?
16:51The records!
16:52I don't know.
16:54I know you know. Where are they?
16:55I don't know!
16:59Search of it! All of it!
17:04You said the French destroyed everything.
17:06They did.
17:06Why would they do that?
17:07I don't know!
17:09Because you lie!
17:12Mom!
17:15What do we have here, huh?
17:16I don't know.
17:21The records.
17:24You lie.
17:26Liar!
17:44Vera and Barkworth go through the prison records.
17:49Every entry and exit from the prison is marked.
17:55Vera finds entries that on the 6th of July, 1944,
17:59four women agents are transferred from the prison at Karlsruher
18:03to the concentration camp at Natsweiler.
18:10This corroborates what Berg told Vera
18:13about four agents who were killed at Natsweiler.
18:23Vera now has clear evidence
18:25that four women agents were murdered.
18:28The names are Andre Borrell,
18:33Vera Lee,
18:36Diana Roden,
18:38and Sonja Olszineski.
18:43The fourth name, Sonja Olszineski,
18:45is unknown to Vera.
18:49Vera expected to see Noor's name or alias.
18:55Witnesses had identified Noor
18:57as travelling with this group to Natsweiler.
19:01Noor was born in Moscow,
19:03so a Russian-sounding alias could make sense.
19:09For Vera,
19:10Sonja Olszineski's entry,
19:12taken with other evidence,
19:14is actually for Noor in Ayat Khan.
19:19Vera has written evidence
19:21that four SOE women,
19:23including Noor in Ayat Khan,
19:26are transported from Karlsruher to Natsweiler
19:28and most likely killed there.
19:32She can now take the evidence to trial.
19:40The 29th of May, 1946.
19:44The Natsweiler war crimes trial
19:46begins in Vorpital in the west of Germany.
19:51The Natsweiler trial would have been so important to Vera,
19:55and it was her other chance
19:56to get information about the women
19:58so she could provide that to the families
20:00and their close ones,
20:01but also to bring these men to justice.
20:06This was the most brutal execution,
20:09murder, in fact, of these women.
20:12It didn't need to be done
20:13in such a horrific manner, if at all.
20:17This will be a British-led trial,
20:19with Nazis tried on German soil,
20:22but under international law.
20:25A trial about one of the Nazis'
20:28specially hidden concentration camps
20:30in the mountains of France.
20:34Natsweiler isn't particularly well-known,
20:36but it was in microcosm
20:38the system of the concentration camps
20:41set up in Germany,
20:42and in this case in France.
20:43It was a camp of 22,000 deaths,
20:46around 55,000 people
20:48went through Natsweiler,
20:50so relatively small compared to some
20:51of the other concentration camps in the Reich,
20:54but nevertheless a system
20:55of tremendous brutality,
20:57slave labor, medical experimentation,
21:00oppression, violence,
21:02the capo system,
21:03a terrible, terrible place.
21:08But before the trial starts,
21:11Vera receives a blunt instruction
21:13from her new boss, Norman Mott.
21:16Vera,
21:19everything,
21:20and I mean everything,
21:22has been done in London
21:24to keep this disgusting business
21:26out of the newspapers.
21:28I need you to ensure
21:30that the press's interest
21:31is discouraged.
21:33And to her reputations,
21:34any good?
21:37I understand.
21:42I suggest you start
21:43by getting the names of the dead
21:45withheld from the trial.
21:51their families won't like it, Norman.
21:55They want to know
21:56what happened.
22:00Too bad.
22:03It's a disgusting business
22:04which is best buried.
22:09Have you got a match?
22:24The Natsviler trial
22:26would have been a troubling time
22:28for Vera,
22:28not only because of hearing
22:30the dreadful incidences
22:31and details of what had happened,
22:33but also that SOE
22:35was still a secretive organisation.
22:36People were not aware
22:38that women had been sent
22:40into the fields
22:40in violation
22:41of the Geneva Convention.
22:46And she probably worried
22:47not only if their names
22:49got out into the press
22:50what had happened to them,
22:51but there was questions
22:52to be start to raise
22:53about who had sent them,
22:55why had they sent them,
22:56why had this been allowed to happen.
23:01After four days of hearings,
23:03the verdicts are delivered
23:05to the accused.
23:15Werner Roder,
23:16the medical officer
23:17who injected the women,
23:18is given a death sentence.
23:28Peter Straub,
23:30SS officer in charge
23:31of the executions,
23:33is given 13 years in prison.
23:36Later that year,
23:38he is given a death sentence.
23:41Fritz Hardenstein,
23:43the commandant of Natsviler,
23:44is imprisoned for life.
23:48The verdict of the Natsviler trial
23:50was that the three men
23:51who were on trial
23:53for the murder of these SOE women
23:55were all found guilty.
23:56So in some respects,
23:58that's a very positive outcome.
24:00She had proved
24:01that this murder was unlawful,
24:03this execution,
24:04as they called it.
24:05But then the sentences
24:06may have been
24:08a bittersweet moment.
24:09Did Vera want an eye
24:10for an eye at this point?
24:11Did she want to see
24:12these men suffer
24:13and pay the ultimate price?
24:15Or was she just happy
24:16to have received
24:17the guilty verdict?
24:18She was a very
24:19straightforward woman,
24:20and I think she would have been
24:22just pleased to have seen
24:23these men go down
24:25for what they'd done.
24:28Vera secures the agreement
24:30of the court
24:31that the names of the dead
24:32will be withheld
24:33from publication.
24:36Thanks to Vera's work,
24:38the trial fails to create
24:40Mott's much-feared
24:41newspaper sensation.
24:44Vera's role in the affair
24:45remains out of the public eye.
24:56Vera turns her attention
24:59to her final three women spies
25:02from Karlsruhe,
25:03who are unaccounted for.
25:06Yolande Beekman,
25:08Eliane Plumann,
25:09and Madeleine Damermont.
25:16Vera comes across
25:17an interrogation statement
25:19taken by American investigators
25:21of Gestapo soldiers
25:23stationed in the town
25:25of Karlsruhe.
25:34One soldier,
25:36Max Vassmer,
25:37recalls transporting
25:39women prisoners
25:40from Karlsruhe
25:41to Dachau concentration camp.
25:46The ranks of three of the women
25:48match those of Vera's
25:50unaccounted agents,
25:52and Vassmer's detailed description
25:55of one woman
25:56matches Madeleine Damermont.
26:03At Dachau,
26:04Vassmer reportedly tells
26:06his colleagues
26:07that he pronounced
26:08the death sentence
26:09on the women,
26:11and that they were then killed.
26:16But can Vera be sure?
26:20Other Gestapo soldiers
26:22claim there were four women,
26:24not three,
26:25like Vassmer says.
26:26They also claim
26:28that one of the women
26:29came from a completely
26:30different prison
26:31called Pforzheim,
26:33not Karlsruhe,
26:34as Vassmer states.
26:36One of the problems
26:37that Vera has,
26:38and indeed
26:39all of the people
26:40involved in the war crimes
26:41trials have,
26:42is the veracity
26:43of the witnesses.
26:44Because when she got
26:45testimony
26:46or drawings
26:48or verification
26:49from her own side,
26:52her own agents
26:53or people who were
26:53also in the camps
26:54and said they saw
26:55three women
26:56or four women
26:57who came into the camp,
26:59she can believe them.
27:00They may not remember
27:01everything,
27:01but at least
27:02she knows
27:03that they're being honest.
27:04But when you're relying
27:05on the testimony
27:06of an SS officer
27:07or a capo
27:08who's worked in the camp,
27:10they're also self-interested.
27:11They also want
27:12to exonerate themselves.
27:13And so it's very difficult
27:15often to know
27:15if they're telling the truth.
27:17And so even though
27:18she gets the Vassmer testimony
27:20and she thinks
27:21she's got some
27:22solid information
27:23about what's happened
27:23to her final three agents,
27:25she can't really be sure,
27:27particularly when then
27:28she gets contradictory evidence.
27:29Can Vera trust
27:32Vassmer's testimony
27:33in the report?
27:36Vera has to find Vassmer
27:38and interrogate him
27:39herself.
27:44August 1946.
27:49After months of searching,
27:51Vera tracks Vassmer down
27:53to internment camp number 74
27:55in Ludwigsberg, Germany.
28:01Vera is the only one
28:03who knows all three SOE agents.
28:05She knows them intimately.
28:07And Max Vassmer says
28:09that he thinks
28:10he's identified them.
28:11Now, this is a huge big deal
28:12because Vera can actually
28:13get the man in front of her
28:15and determine
28:16whether these women
28:17were different women
28:19or were her agents.
28:20and, you know,
28:21being there
28:22and able to speak
28:22to somebody about it
28:23where you know,
28:25you know,
28:25if you show somebody
28:25a photograph,
28:26you know when they go,
28:27that's definitely the person
28:28or I think that's the person.
28:30And it's all to do
28:31with intonation.
28:31It's all to do
28:32with being in the same room
28:33as someone.
28:34So for Vera,
28:35being in the same room
28:35as Max Vassmer
28:36is really important
28:38so that she
28:38can interrogate him.
28:41Your name is Max Vassmer,
28:43correct?
28:46Yes.
28:49And you transported women
28:51from Karlsruhe Prison
28:52to Dachau,
28:53correct?
28:57Yes.
29:14And then you watched
29:16as they were shot,
29:18correct?
29:21No.
29:22I handed them over
29:24to the guards.
29:26This report clearly states
29:28that witnesses
29:29saw you take the women
29:30to be shot.
29:34Well, I was there,
29:35yes.
29:37I wasn't present
29:39at the end.
29:42The guards took the women in,
29:44not me.
29:46We just...
29:49We just did transport.
29:52Then how did others know
29:54that four women
29:55were killed?
29:57Three.
29:58The report says
29:59four women.
30:02It was three.
30:05How can you be so sure?
30:07Because they gave me
30:08a receipt.
30:12A what?
30:16The next day,
30:18the guards gave me
30:19a receipt
30:19for three women spies
30:21shot dead.
30:23We needed it for bookkeeping
30:25back at Karlsruhe.
30:26We needed it for bookkeeping back at Karlsruhe.
30:32Shall I describe them for you?
30:39Three women.
30:40Wasmer provides descriptions
30:42of three women
30:44transferred from Karlsruhe
30:46to Dachau
30:47that match Vera's records
30:48of three SOE women.
30:51Vera has sufficient proof
30:53that her SOE agents,
30:55Jolande Beekmann,
30:57Eliane Plumann
30:58and Madeleine Darmamont
31:00are killed
31:02at Dachau.
31:05Vera,
31:06after interviewing Max Wasmer,
31:08now has everybody
31:09accounted for.
31:10She knows exactly
31:12where all of her agents
31:13ended up
31:14and there must have been
31:15a sort of wonderful
31:16sense of completion
31:17but also this sort of tragic
31:18pang
31:19of knowing
31:20that there's nobody
31:22left to be saved
31:23and just the horrific nature
31:24of their deaths.
31:25It must have been
31:26absolutely awful.
31:34Vera now believes
31:36she has sufficient evidence
31:38to account for every one
31:39of her lost women spies
31:41alive or dead.
31:46She writes up a report
31:48for London
31:48closing the case.
31:52Of the 39 women
31:54Vera sent to war,
31:5627 returned alive.
32:00Many after
32:01sustained torture.
32:07Twelve lose their lives
32:09at the hands of the Nazis.
32:17She encloses draft letters
32:19to be sent to the
32:20women's next of kin.
32:22Details of their names
32:23to be completed
32:24in London.
32:28It is with the deepest regret
32:30that I have to inform you
32:31that your daughter
32:32was killed
32:33in the early hours
32:34of the 13th of September,
32:371944,
32:38in the camp of Dachau.
32:40According to what is believed
32:42to be a reliable report,
32:44she was shot
32:45through the back
32:45of the head
32:46and death was immediate.
32:49The body was cremated
32:50in the camp crematorium.
32:53Vera does succeed
32:55in discovering
32:56the fate of the 12
32:58missing women agents
32:59and in that sense
33:01there is closure for her.
33:04She has succeeded
33:05in discovering
33:06what's happened
33:06to all of them
33:07but also it means
33:09that she can write
33:10to the families
33:11and personally tell them
33:13what's happened
33:14and she carries that
33:16for the rest of her life.
33:18What you find later in life
33:20is some of the children
33:21of the agents
33:23who died in action
33:24actually seek her out.
33:25They travel from
33:26across the world
33:26because she's the one
33:28tangible physical link
33:31with those agents
33:33and so she assumes
33:34and so she assumes
33:34a really important role
33:36not only immediately
33:38after investigations
33:40but for the rest of her life.
33:42She's the one
33:43that carries their memory.
33:49Vera has finally uncovered
33:51the fate of her missing women
33:53and prepares to leave Germany.
34:00With this part of her mission over
34:02Vera will return to England.
34:13Now she must answer
34:15the hardest question.
34:32Vera must now uncover
34:35why so many of her agents
34:37were captured
34:38and how the Nazi intelligence service
34:41seemed to infiltrate
34:43SOE's agent networks
34:44so successfully.
34:46When Vera returns to England
34:48there's a niggling doubt
34:50in her mind
34:51that perhaps
34:52they have been betrayed
34:54she has been betrayed
34:56perhaps there was
34:57a spy within the SOE
35:00perhaps there was somebody
35:01betraying them all
35:02all along.
35:06And the most terrifying fear
35:09starts to take hold of her
35:10that somebody very close to her
35:11somebody who she has to have
35:13worked with
35:14at SOE itself
35:15might have actually betrayed her
35:17and she has to start thinking
35:18did I send these agents out
35:22to their deaths
35:23were they being parachuted to
35:25or flown to
35:26the waiting arms of treachery.
35:31The man who is key to this
35:33is the head of Nazi security
35:35in France
35:36Hans Kieffer
35:37who is hiding somewhere
35:39in Germany.
35:42find Kieffer
35:43and you find
35:45the traitor.
35:58Vera passes a tip
35:59to her friend
36:00SAS Major Bill Barkworth
36:02that Kieffer
36:03might be hiding
36:04in his hometown
36:05of Garmisch
36:06in Bavaria.
36:12with Kieffer
36:13on the run
36:14Vera turns
36:15to another
36:16leading Nazi
36:16to try and uncover
36:18how the Germans
36:19captured her women agents.
36:24He is the man
36:25who masterminded
36:26the Nazi radio operation
36:27in northern France.
36:32Dr. Josef Gertz
36:34worked as one of
36:42Kieffer's lead
36:43counterintelligence officers.
36:46Dr. Gertz
36:47works in
36:48Avenue Forch
36:49in the
36:50Sicherheitsdienst
36:51headquarters
36:51in Paris
36:52and he is an
36:53underling of
36:54SS
36:55Strombanfeu
36:55or Kieffer
36:56from the
36:56Sicherheitsdienst
36:57and his job
36:59is effectively
37:00to engage
37:02in
37:02counterespionage
37:03to collect
37:04the evidence
37:05letters
37:06documents
37:07from enemy
37:07agents
37:08and keep
37:09them
37:09analyze
37:09them
37:10and then
37:10give that
37:11information
37:11forward back
37:12to Kieffer
37:13and inform
37:13him about
37:14what the
37:14agents
37:15are up to.
37:17There is one
37:18thing Gertz
37:18is especially
37:19good at
37:20which is
37:21fooling the
37:21British
37:21with fake
37:22radio
37:23transmissions.
37:28London
37:29was oblivious
37:30that agents
37:30had been
37:31captured.
37:33and that
37:34Gertz
37:34was using
37:35information
37:35tortured
37:36out of
37:36them
37:36to trick
37:37SOE
37:38into revealing
37:39intelligence
37:40about the
37:41agents'
37:41circuits.
37:43It's basically
37:44a game
37:45that they were
37:46playing
37:46with the
37:47British
37:47by sending
37:48them false
37:49messages
37:49through their
37:50own
37:50wireless
37:51transmitters.
37:51So when
37:52you'd capture
37:52an agent
37:53it'd be taken
37:54back to
37:54Avenue Forch
37:55and they'd
37:56been interrogated
37:57and their
37:57actual transmitter
37:58was kept.
37:59So that
38:00that meant
38:00that when
38:01they gave
38:01them the
38:02right codes
38:03they could
38:03then give
38:04false messages
38:05back to
38:05London
38:06and get
38:07them to do
38:07all sorts
38:08of things
38:08that they
38:08wanted to
38:09make them
38:09think that
38:10agents
38:10were still
38:10OK
38:10and hadn't
38:11been detained
38:12or indeed
38:13give them
38:13false messages
38:14about what
38:15was happening
38:15in the war
38:16that would
38:16get passed
38:17up the
38:17chain
38:17to
38:17Winston
38:18Churchill
38:18and affect
38:19the war
38:22Gertz is
38:22one of
38:23thousands
38:23of
38:23suspected
38:24war
38:24criminals
38:25arrested
38:26after the
38:26war
38:27but when
38:28it is
38:28discovered
38:29that he
38:29is the
38:30radio
38:30mastermind
38:31at
38:31Avenue
38:31Foch
38:32he is
38:33sent
38:33to
38:33England
38:33for
38:34further
38:34interrogation
38:38Funkspiel
38:39that's what
38:40we called
38:40it
38:41the radio
38:42game
38:44and London
38:45was very
38:45bad at
38:46it
38:48we would
38:49impersonate
38:50one of
38:50your agents
38:52ask
38:52questions
38:54and London
38:55would give
38:55us the
38:55answer
38:55with a
38:57little
38:58slap
38:59on the
38:59wrist
