All About History  |  Issue 53
SPIES THAT WON WWII
Britain’s victory in World War II is something of an article of faith, the work of gleaming Spitfires over the rolling English Channel and daring Commando raids taking place in the dark. The real secret weapon, though, was intelligence. To oversimplify things, the USA had raw materials and the USSR had men, but Great Britain had a web of codebreakers, spies, saboteurs and secret agents that allowed our mossy island to punch above its weight and bloody the nose of Nazi Germany when Hitler was at the height of his terrible powers. It’s an honour for us to pay tribute to these unsung heroes who fought a war in the shadows, and discover some of incredible men who may have inspired James Bond, as well as the spymaster who would later invent him: Ian Fleming.
