'By means of the double-cross system we actively ran and controlled the German espionage system in this country.' This extraordinary claim is made in the British top secret official intelligence report written at the end of World War II by an Oxford don and now released for the first time by Her Majesty's Government. The double-cross system was a remarkable apparatus of deception whereby captured German agents were induced to serve the Allied cause by supplying Germany with lnformation devised and manipulated. by British Intelligence. The Masterman Report uncovers the complete story of the system from its origins in 1939 to the last years of the war in Europe. Here at last is an explanation. among other $ings. of how Hitler was led to believe that the Allied D Day landing was to be made in the Pas de Calais rather than Normandy. Conspicuous amongst those who took part in this incredible adventure, Sir John Masterman has produced a lucid. accurate and dramatic document from which could be quarried countless spy-story plots, none stranger than the true events he relates. 204 pages.
