Though the book had the war starting in 1935 rather than 1939 as it actually did , it became highly regarded after the start of the war , proving him essentially correct . Because of his prescience , he became widely followed , with a popular radio commentary in the U . S . during the war .

" To prove his " bona fides " to Soviet intelligence , Moszulski conveyed a list of Polish exiles and Polish - Americans , including an evaluation of how they stood on Polish - Soviet relations . Steel ' s cover name assigned by Soviet intelligence and deciphered by Arlington Hall cryptographers is DICKY , DICKI and DIKI .
