>Juan Pujol García, known by the British codename "Garbo," was an extraordinary double agent during World War II. A Spanish national, he detested totalitarianism and initially tried, unsuccessfully, to offer his services to British intelligence. Undeterred, he managed to get himself recruited by the Germans, posing as a fanatical Nazi. From Lisbon, and later London, Pujol created an entirely fictitious network of 27 sub-agents, using public sources like tourist guides and magazines to craft convincing but misleading intelligence reports. He played a pivotal role in Operation Fortitude, the Allied deception plan that convinced the Germans the D-Day invasion would occur at Pas-de-Calais, thereby diverting crucial enemy forces away from Normandy. OKW accepted Garbo's reports so completely that they kept two armoured divisions and 19 infantry divisions in the Pas de Calais waiting for a second invasion through July and August 1944. The German Commander-in-Chief in the west, Field Marshal Gerd von Rundstedt, refused to allow General Erwin Rommel to move these divisions to Normandy. There were more German troops in the Pas de Calais region two months after the Normandy invasion than there had been on D-Day. His elaborate fabrications were so successful that he received military decorations from both sides: the Iron Cross from Germany and an MBE from Britain, a truly unique feat for a wartime spy. The Germans paid Pujol US$340,000 over the course of the war to support his network of agents.
