Abstract: "... [This book reveals] the voice and experiences of a 'backroom boy' who spent most of the war engaged in highly-confidential intelligence work in England - including breaking the cipher code of the German Secret Service, the Abwehr. He became an expert in German resistance plots and after the war interrogated many of Hitler's immediate circle, investigated Hitler's death in the Berlin bunker and personally retrieved Hitler's will from its secret hiding place. His writings tell of Whitehall officials, Oxford dons, Secret Service men, the Home Counties professional classes, Northumberland gentry and Irish raconteurs "making do' under war conditions. ..."--Book jacket.
