JASON BELL / Cracking the Nazi Code: The Untold Story of Agent A12 and the Solving of the Holocaust Code

In conversation with Peter W. Klein

The thrilling true story of Agent A12, the earliest enemy of the Nazis. In public life, Dr. Winthrop Bell (no relation) was a Harvard philosophy professor and businessman. As an MI6 spy in Berlin in 1919, he broke open the emerging Nazi conspiracy. His reports, the first warning of the Nazi plot for World War II, went directly to the man known as C, the mysterious founder of MI6, and PMs. But a powerful fascist politician worked to suppress his alerts.
In 1939, Bell became a spy again and was the first to crack Hitler’s deadliest secret code: Germany’s plan for the Holocaust. Fighting an epic intelligence war from Eastern Europe and Russia to France, Canada, and finally Washington, DC, Agent A12 was a real-life 007, waging a single-handed struggle against fascists. Without Bell’s astounding courage, the Nazis just might have won the war.
