The Double Cross System and MI-5'S Supremacy in World War II
“A Game of Human Chess”: The Double Cross System and MI-5’s Supremacy in World War II By Adamya Sharma History Departmental Undergraduate Honors Thesis University of Colorado at Boulder April 7, 2015 Thesis Advisor: Dr. Thomas Zeiler Department of History and International Affairs Defense Committee: Dr. Fred Anderson Department of History Dr. Thomas Metcalf Department of Philosophy Abstract World War II featured monumental battles, such as the Normandy invasions, the Battle of the Bulge, Stalingrad, Iwo Jima, El Alamein, and Kursk. While historical scholarship of the World War II generally focuses on the war’s grand military engagements, it is imperative to note that Allied and Axis intelligence units battled for supremacy in a war of deception. The Double Cross system employed by the British military intelligence division (MI-5) was, virtually from the war’s onset, successful in overwhelming its German opponent, the Abwehr by turning its agents into supportive double agents. Traditional historiography follows the classic spy narrative and credits the success of MI-5 to its daring agents, brilliant creators, or stalwart handlers who used wit and guile to deceive their German adversary. In this thesis I will argue that the success of the Double Cross system should be attributed to more than solely the actions of the Double Cross team. Though the operatives played an invaluable role, the existence of an overriding, well-structured system determined their success. By examining the uniqueness of the Double Cross system, this thesis will seek to illustrate that the victorious outcome of the British in the intelligence war was due to their tireless effort to perfect a system of counterespionage. -

Review Article The Drugs Don’t Work: Intelligence, Torture and the London Cage Dan Lomas Helen Fry, The London Cage: The Secret History of Britain’s World War II Interrogation Centre, New Haven and London: Yale University Press (2017), pp. 256, Hbk, £18.99, ISBN: ISBN: 9780300221930. Prisoner of war interrogation has always been an important source of intelligence.1 In Britain, it is a topic that has often met with controversy. Wartime interrogations at MI5’s Camp 020, colonial abuses during the Mau Mau uprising and Aden campaigns, the so-called ‘Five Techniques’ in Northern Ireland and military interrogations in Iraq and Afghanistan, have all provoked claims of ill-treatment. The growing controversy around the ethics of interrogation and allegations of torture have led to a welcome growth in the literature, moving the subject beyond the niche it once was, even if some is often prone to hyperbole.2 Helen Fry’s new account of the secretive London District Cage interrogation facility, housed in buildings off Kensington Palace Gardens, located in central London, is the latest book to shed light on the subject. -

Dramatising Intelligence History on the BBC: The Camp 020 Affair While there is a considerable literature that considers post-1945 British intelligence historiography, little attention has been given to non-print media, such as factual depictions of intelligence affairs broadcast on television or radio. Using previously closed material from the British Broadcasting Corporation’s written archives, this article explores how factual intelligence and security issues were represented by the BBC as the 1970s drew to a close, through an examination of the Spy! television series, which approached episodes of recent intelligence history in a drama-documentary format. The second episode of the series, seen by millions of viewers, proved controversial owing to its depiction of a physical assault during interrogation at an MI5 facility, Camp 020, during the Second World War. The article explores the fallout from this episode, as numerous Camp 020 veterans made great efforts to point out that such physical violence had never taken place. -

His wonderful editing, although rather overwhelming at the time, proved to be invaluable. I would also like to thank Dr. Jonathan Grant who was so kind to join my committee with relatively short notice (as a result of Dr. Winston Lo’s retirement). Last, but certainly not least, I wish to thank Dr. Ed Wynot for his direction, insight, and kindness. I reserve a special thanks for my family who has offered me so much support and encouragement. I am especially grateful to my husband, Oscar, who selflessly took on almost all domestic and child-rearing responsibilities during the final phases of this project.
