A Taste for Treason, Part 1: PO BOX 629 | WW2
A Scottish hairdresser, a wannabe actor-slash-stunt pilot, and a Nazi spy ring spanning both sides of the Atlantic. Three different shows? No. One True Spies special. In this two-part story, intelligence historian Andrew Jeffrey joins Sophia Di Martino to tell a story that has to be heard to be believed. In the 1930s, a resurgent Germany was determined to steal Allied secrets to gain an advantage in the coming war. Through a series of improbable twists, turns, and intelligence coups, MI5 and the FBI were able to target and eliminate a spy network that posed a very real threat to the Free World. In Part 1, Andrew traces the origins of the spy network from the cockpit of a British monoplane to the streets of Manhattan. From SPYSCAPE, the home of secrets. A Cup And Nuzzle production.
