Espionage during the Second World War with Alex Gerlis

Alex Gerlis joins me to discuss spying during the war, and, more importantly (!) football of the period. Alex supports Grimsby Town, and I support Southampton, but which team would the Nazis have taken an interest in? We also discuss Frank Foley, the man who saved thousands of Jews, and Klaus Barbie, the Nazi murderer based in France. Finally, Alex chats about his influences, and the man he has been compared to, John Le Carré Alex Gerlis Links ⁠Agent in Berlin⁠ ⁠Agent in Peril⁠ ⁠Alex Gerlis⁠ ⁠Alan Furst⁠ novels ⁠Klaus Barbie⁠ ⁠Alex on Twitter⁠ Aspects of History Links ⁠Our Website⁠ ⁠Me on Twitter Learn more about your ad choices.
