Garbo reached Britain in the spring of 1942, and operated as a double agent under the aegis of the [XX Committee]?. He purported to the Germans that he had recruited a large network of agents, including a number of influential people with 'inside' information. In order to foster this illusion, Garbo supplied them with a certain amount of collateral information. The Germans paid Garbo a large amount of money for this misinformation.
