An Unsung Hero

I wonder how many people knew this gentleman yet were unaware of his service to his country.

Quote:

A lone MI5 agent who neutralised hundreds of Nazis during the Second World War is today unmasked as a modest suburban bank clerk whose civilian bosses had considered him nothing ‘special’.
The ‘genius’ undercover operative managed to infiltrate and control Nazi sympathisers living in England – preventing them from passing intelligence to Berlin.

It's always the quiet, unassuming ones who are the most adept. A true hero... :salute:

That's a good thing. It means he did his job well.

Glad he's getting recognition now, though. :sunny:
