Information

Berlin. The 1930s. As the Nazi regime tightens its grip, one man moves in the shadows at the very heart of power. Historian and former diplomat Tim Willasey-Wilsey reveals the astonishing true story of Baron William de Ropp - MI6’s secret agent inside Hitler’s inner circle. With direct access to the regime, de Ropp uncovered vital intelligence on Nazi ambitions and the gathering storm of war, shaping Britain’s response at a critical moment in history. Drawing on newly uncovered evidence, this is a gripping tale of espionage, intrigue and high-stakes diplomacy - where the fate of nations hung in the balance. Chaired by James Naughtie.
