Don't overlook what Professor M.R.D. Foot wrote in Finest Hour 133 (page 4). In his letter he refers to FH 131 (page 6).
Paul Courtenay ----- Original Message ----- From: jimlancaster To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, October 07, 2008 5:18 PM Subject: [ChurchillChat] Re: Leslie Howard WSC in vol IV of WW2 page 742 indicates that German agents had seen a 'thickset man smoking a cigar' boarding the plane at Lisbon. He continues: 'The brutality of the Germans was only matched by the stupidity of their agents. It is difficult to understand how any one could imagine... that I should have booked a passage in an unarmed and unescorted plane from Lisbon and flown home in broad daylight.' What WSC does not reveal, and neither does the OB, is that Leslie Howard was returning from a secret meeting with Franco-on WSC's instruction. Jim Lancaster Internal Virus Database is out of date.
