From what appeared to be an innocuous part of north London, intelligence operatives gleaned nuggets of a gold mine. In the relatively upscale prisoner of war installations set up for Captured German general officers, the operatives had set up sophisticated recording devices and facilities to create phonograph records from the recordings. The resulting transcripts provided Britain with inside information on battle plans and atrocities, assassination attempts against Hitler, and even the officers' own war crimes. Operators mixed up the Wehrmacht and Luftwaffe officers, provided stool pigeons and even set up an undercover interpreter. Neitzel (modern history, U. of Mainz) provides fascinating transcripts ably annotated with contexts and officer biographies, explaining not only how Britain acquired and used the information but also providing a few nasty shocks as well, including the explosion of the myth that knowledge of war crimes was not widespread.
