17. In May 1940 Owens set out to meet Ritter on a Grimsby steam trawler, the SS
Barbados
. Snow’s MI5 file contains this image of a very similar
vessel

18. Ritter flew out to the abortive North Sea rendezvous in a large Dornier 18 flying boat, which boasted a range of 2000 miles and an endurance of 12
hours

19. Walter Dicketts (aka Celery) in a pre-war mugshot from the
Police Gazette

20. The Chain Home radar station at Poling near Arundel, typical of those positioned on the south coast of England

21. Abwehr transcripts of three controlled signals buzzed by Snow on 13 and 14 August 1940, two of which seek to deter invasion, and one providing ID serials
for incoming German spies

22. Charles van der Kieboom, one of the hapless invasion spies captured in Kent on 3 September 1940

23. Kieboom’s wireless set revealed in the
Picture Post
for 28 December 1940. Three weeks earlier, the unfortunate Eurasian spy had been hanged
inexpertly at Pentonville

24. The Blitz on London eventually forced Snow to relocate from his second MI5 safehouse at 14 Marlborough Road in Richmond

25. Wulf Schmidt (aka Tate) and his suitcase transmitter. Codenamed Leonhardt by the Abwehr, and a favourite of Ritter, in 1941 he was awarded an unmerited Iron
Cross

26. Spanish (not very) secret agent Piernavieja del Pozo, pictured in the Daily Express on 7 November 1940

27. The body of Jan Willem Ter Braak, as discovered in a Cambridge air raid shelter on April Fools’ Day 1941

28. Rudolf Hess with Messerschmitt 110 twin-engined fighter at Augsburg. On 10 May 1941 the Deputy Führer arrived in Scotland hoping to broker peace ahead
of Operation Barbarossa, the German assault on Russia. Six weeks earlier Owens and Dicketts had returned from Lisbon with the very same mission
