Listen Later

In this interview with Dr Evert Kleynhans, we unveil the details of the u-boat campaigns off the coast of South Africa in 1942/43 during World War 2; principally Operation Eisbar, which played out around the Cape of Good Hope, and discuss his new book, Hitler’s Spies: Secret Agents and the Intelligence War in South Africa, in which he analyses the link between the u-boat campaigns and the pro-German spy network operating in Southern Africa during the war.

Evert Kleynhans is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Military History at the Faculty of Military Science of Stellenbosch University (South Africa). He is also the Editor of the journal Scientia Militaria: South African Journal of Military Studies, and he serves as the Assistant Director of the Southern African Chapter of the Second World War Research Group.

His latest book is published by Jonathan Ball Publishers and is available for purchase through Amazon and other retailers.
