Double Cross: The True Story of the D-Day Spies 4 stars

An in-depth look at the British Spy Network(MI5/ MI6) and the wacky group of double agents they employed to insure that D-Day would be successful. This quote gives you an idea, why I used "wacky"

"For the D-Day spies were, without question, one of the oddest military units ever assembled. They included a bisexual Peruvian playgirl, a tiny Polish fighter pilot, a mercurial Frenchwoman, a Serbian seducer, and a deeply eccentric Spaniard with a diploma in chicken farming...

These "characters" are full of antics and humor, but upon reflection the reader understands how they put their lives and the lives of their families in the dangerous path of Germanys SS.

Posing as German spies they were handsomely paid by the Nazis, while working for the Allies. The money supplied by the Germans (about 4.3 million pounds in todays currency) supported the German mission, while also covering the costs for Allies.

A hidden story that only came to light in the 20th century, well worth your time if history is your genre.
