书籍简介
★二战期间精心策划、出色持续的情报行动的历史,法西斯的将军们被诱骗泄露了纳粹的重要秘密
“一本伟大的书。”——迈克尔·古德曼,BBC 历史杂志
“一个关于战时间谍活动的惊人故事。”——罗伯特·赫顿,《杰克特工》的作者
第二次世界大战爆发时,军情六处间谍头子托马斯·肯德里克抵达伦敦塔,开展一项绝密行动:对德国囚犯的牢房进行窃听,并在墙后安装监听器来记录和转录他们的私人谈话。 事实证明,这一任务非常有效,以至于后来在另外三个地点设立了该任务,并为盟军提供了对纳粹正在开发的新技术的重要见解。
在这段令人惊叹的历史中,海伦·弗莱揭开了窃听行动的内部运作方式。 到达特伦特公园等由豪宅改建的监狱后,德国高级将军和指挥官会受到“虚假”审讯,然后被视为“客人”,获胜并在高级俱乐部用餐,并被鼓励交谈。 因此,盟军得以接触到希特勒严密保守的一些秘密——以及来自受委托保护他们的人的秘密。
A history of the elaborate and brilliantly sustained World War II intelligence operation by which Hitler’s generals were tricked into giving away vital Nazi secrets
“A great book.”—Michael Goodman, BBC History Magazine
“An astonishing story of wartime espionage.”—Robert Hutton, author of Agent Jack
At the outbreak of World War II, MI6 spymaster Thomas Kendrick arrived at the Tower of London to set up a top secret operation: German prisoners’ cells were to be bugged and listeners installed behind the walls to record and transcribe their private conversations. This mission proved so effective that it would go on to be set up at three further sites—and provide the Allies with crucial insight into new technology being developed by the Nazis.
In this astonishing history, Helen Fry uncovers the inner workings of the bugging operation. On arrival at stately-homes-turned-prisons like Trent Park, high-ranking German generals and commanders were given a "phony" interrogation, then treated as "guests," wined and dined at exclusive clubs, and encouraged to talk. And so it was that the Allies got access to some of Hitler’s most closely guarded secrets—and from those most entrusted to protect them.
