Buy Me a Coffee: โ https://bmc.link/philipthompsonDonate via PayPal: ๐ธ paypal.me/PhilipT284Imagine a professional criminal who became one of Britain's most valuable spies, a safecracker deemed so dangerous by police that his photograph hung in just about every station across the United Kingdom. This man, who some said couldn't even pick a lock, somehow became Hitler's most trusted British agent, and the only British national ever awarded the Iron Cross by the Nazi regime.
He was a man who twice parachuted into Britain during World War 2 carrying German explosives, yet he returned to London as a hero rather than a traitor.
How did this charming rogue with a string of broken hearts and empty safes behind him become one of the most important double agents of World War II? This is the true story of Eddie Chapman โ criminal, lover, spy, and double agent โ whose remarkable life zigged and zagged between the shadows of heroism and villainy.
