The Story of Juan Pujol

Juan Pujol and Aracele Gonzalez married in 1940. When he travelled to Lisbon, she went with him. She was extremely outgoing, very lively, very social. Through my mother, she had the strength and the courage to go to the American Embassy and spoke with a cultural attéche about her husband. They contacted British intelligence, who were astonished. The man who had misinformed the Nazis about the Malta convoy was not a German spy in Britain. He was a Catalan in Lisbon. MI5 posted him to London and gave him a cover job at the BBC. After Greta Garbo, over three years, Agent Garbo would produce hundreds of secret letters and messages.
