In a cramped attic room in Richmond Hill, London, each tap sent another carefully crafted lie racing through the ether toward Nazi Germany. The messages bore the authentication codes of Agent Hubert—a trusted German spy who had penetrated the highest levels of Allied command. But the man dictating these reports wasn't German at all, nor did he hold any loyalty to the Nazis.Roman Czerniawski was a Polish patriot who had already survived capture, recruitment by the Abwehr, and a desperate flight to freedom. Now, in the spring of 1944, his fabricated intelligence about phantom American armies massing in southeast England was being read by Adolf Hitler himself.

The irony was exquisite. The Führer, studying reports of General Patton's fictional invasion force, had no idea that his most trusted source was a man whose hatred for the Nazi regime burned with the intensity of a thousand suns.Roman Czerniawski was a wartime double agent who was nearly lost to history. Fortunately, his story has been preserved so that his bravery may never be forgotten.Further reading (affiliate links):📕 Double Cross: The True Story of The D-Day Spies - Ben Macintyre: https://amzn.to/45LW1xP📕 The Big Network - Roman Czerniawski (out of print - look on eBay)#philipthompson #truelifespystories #agentbrutus
