Rupert William Simon Allason was a Conservative member of the British House of Commons from 1987 and 1997. However, he's best known around the world as Nigel West, military historian and journalist specializing in security and intelligence matters. During the recent commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the Normandy landings, Nigel West's name surfaced in relation to his 1985 book on Agent Garbo, the personal story of who, some say, was the most successful double agent of World War II.

Juan Pujol travels to England and begins his work with MI5. His actions with the help of MI5 would go on to save thousands of lives perhaps single handedly (or in his case... 27 fake agents' hands!) change the course of history. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
After approaching British intelligence 3 times at the start of WW2 and being rejected - Juan Pujol switched sides and approached the Germans, but that was all part of his master plan... A plan that would eventually involve pulling off perhaps one of the greatest espionage ruses in history. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Participó en los dos bandos guerra sin disparar un solo tiro. Se llamaba Juan Pujol García, conocido como "Arabel" en el servicio secreto nazi y "Garbo", en el británico. Creó una red imaginaria de 27 agentes secretos y su obra maestra fue engañar ni más ni menos que a Hitler. Pujol incluso fingió su muerte para después salir entre las cenizas, una historia que estamos seguros no habías escuchado está a punto de ser revelada en Histeriadores.

"Anything For A Litre Of Wine" Episode #285 with Barry Purcell Barry brings us the tale of the WWII spy genius Juan Pujol
Fue un personaje fundamental en la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Esta es la vida del espía español más famoso de todos los tiempos, Garbo
Juan Pujol tenía 28 años cuando terminó la Guerra Civil y decidió presentarse en la embajada británica y ofrecerse como espía. Fue un doble agente durante años, con una extraordinaria red de contactos inventados. De ahí su apodo: Garbo, el mejor actor del mundo. En este programa su hija, María Kreisler, cuenta cómo su familia creyó durante mucho tiempo que su padre había muerto, y también revela el importantísimo papel que jugó su madre, Araceli, en el trabajo de Garbo como espía. Nos da contexto a su figura, y nos ayuda a evaluar la importancia de su labor en la victoria de los aliados en la Segunda Guerra Mundial, el profesor de historia contemporánea de la Universidad de Santiago Emilio Grandío.

In 1941, Catalonian chicken farmer Juan Pujol made an unlikely leap into the world of international espionage, becoming a spy first for the Germans, then for the British, and rising to become one of the greatest double agents of World War II. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll describe Pujol's astonishing talent for deceiving the Nazis, which led one colleague to call him "the best actor in the world." We'll also contemplate a floating Chicago and puzzle over a winding walkway. Intro: In 1999, Kevin Baugh declared his Nevada house an independent republic.

Juan Pujol was the Walter Mitty of World War II, a nobody who at one doomed venture after another while dreaming of doing something interesting with his life -- saving Western civilization, if possible. Journalist Stephan Talty, whose work has appeared widely, including in the New York Times Magazine and GQ, has told the remarkable story of how against all the odds, Pujol did just that by becoming agent GARBO, the most important double agent of World War II. Hear Talty discuss his new book with SPY Historian Mark Stout in this author debriefing which took place on July 12, 2012.
Few would put the name Juan Pujol alongside Eisenhower, Churchill and Roosevelt – the Allied giants of World War II. Yet, this underachieving chicken farmer from Barcelona could very well be the pivotal figure in one of the 20th century's most important events: the Allied landings in Normandy during the summer of 1944.
