This is well worth reading the whole thing. I suspect that this fascinating story meshes with the recent documentary shown on PBS called "The Ghost Army" which never mentions this Spanish spy. Another piece of the whole.

-another great WW 2 spy story—sure a good thing the Krauts weren’t as good at espionage as the Allies-—

I saw a program on this. I think it was on The Military channel, now the Hero's channel or something like that.

For those with Netflix, a while back they had a 90-minute documentary on this guy — “Garbo: The Spy.” I don’t know if it is still available on Netflix, but do check. It is an excellent documentary about a fascinating guy, whose work saved many lives. Well worth your time, even if you’re not a WWII or espionage fanatic.

I love the fact that he was awarded an Iron Cross by Hitler and an MBE by England. Now that’s the mark of a real good spy. Being awarded honors by both sides!!!

With everything I have read on WWII, I don’t think I’ve seen this before. Fascinating story.
