Meanwhile two Dutch SOE agents were dropped under circumstances which suggested fantastic carelessness in Baker Street: both were issued with forged identity cards on which the royal arms of Holland were represented by two lions which both faced the same way, instead of addressing each other. Even more incredible, Hubertus Lauwers and Thys Taconis were issued with identical civilian clothes. . . They arrived safely nonetheless, and went to work respectively in The Hague and Arnhem. Taconis received assistance from a local man named Ridderhof, who was a secret V-Mann - a Vertrauensmänner, or German intormer, of which Holland had many in 1941. Everything Taconis did was reported to the Abwehr's Maj. Herman Giskes. On 6 March 1942 Lauwers was seized in mid-transmission at a flat in The Hague . . . When he resumed transmission, the receiving operator failed to notice that he gave the agreed security warning that he was under enemy control. Thereafter, agent after agent was parachuted intoHolland to be received by Giskes' men. Amid their shock, and bitterness at betrayal, most of the prisoners talked, so that each new subject for interrogation was disorientated by the discovery of how much the Germans already knew. Lauwers inserted further warnings in subsequent transmis-sions, including the word ‘CAUGHT,’ but the N Section in London blithely ignored them.

I won’t be as blithe to say Britain had the worst intelligence service during the war (Japan was arguably the worst, followed by Germany, and then Italy), but holy shit man, they weren’t great at it.

Giskes eventually operated fourteen British wireless sets in his Englandspiel, which continued for more than two years, with successive consignments of arms and explosives, together with saboteurs and wire-less-operators, parachuted directly into German custody. Fifty-one men from SOE, nine from MI6 and one woman trom MI9 were eventually taken, of whom all but a handful were shot. When five made an escape in August 1943 and sent a message to London warning of the disaster, all unknowing they entrusted it to a V-Mann, and thus it was never forwarded. While two of the escapers were on their way to Britain the Abwehr signalled to SOE on one of its own sets, reporting the men to be under Gestapo control, with the result that when they arrived they were confined for some weeks in Brixton prison. It was Giskes himself who decided that he had exhausted the possibilities of his Operation North Pole, and on All Fools’ Day 1944 sent a final mocking signal to SOE: ‘WHENEVER YOU WILL COME TO PAY A VISIT TO THE CONTINENT YOU MAY BE ASSURED THAT YOU WILL BE RECEIVED WITH THE SAME CARE AND RESULT AS ALL THOSE YOU SENT US BEFORE STOP SO LONG.’ Beyond the MI6 and SOE agents who were lost, hundreds of local Resistance workers perished as a result of the gross misconduct of SOE’s Netherlands section by Major Charles Blizard and Major Seymour Bingham. Hugh Trevor-Roper wrote on 19 June 1944, acknowledging that for all his disdain for German intelligence-gathering, its officers displayed formidable efectiveness in countering Resistance: ‘Whatever the RSHA’s deficiencies in the evaluation of intelligence, its competence in counterespionage cannot be questioned.’

Jesus Christ dude.

Churchill: Manor Seymour Bingham told me the RSHA keeps capturing their spies so I asked how many spies they had and he said he just goes to the recruitment center and gets a new spy afterwards so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding his spies to the Gestapo and then Sir Collin Gubbins started crying.

“The Netherlands government believed Major Bingham to have been a double, serving the Nazis” yeah i would too!

Due to a recent accident in the labs, the boys downstairs have found a way to turn men into women. Amazing breakthrough, and we wish you all luck on your transition. And your job hunt. You’re all fired. Sorry boys, nothing against you. We just don’t need women around here trying to clean up the lab while the men are trying to do real work. Cave out.
