- Summary:
- Posing as a valet to Britain's ambassador to Turkey, Elyesa Bazna (codename Cicero) nearly exposed the plans for the Allied invasion of Normandy through his sale of sensitive British documents to the Germans. Richard Wires, former intelligence officer, tells the untold story of this embarrassing episode, including the Nazis' missed opportunity to make use of valuable information and how the big payoff trained out to be counterfeit.
