Wynn, StephenOPERATION NORTH POLE: Unravelling the Truth Behind the Execution of 50 SOE Agents in the Second World War Englandspiel Nordpol, or Operation North Pole, was a WWII counterintelligence operation conducted by Germany's military intelligence (the Abwehr) between 1942 and 1944. Details how SOE agents were captured in the Netherlands and were persuaded to send messages back to London by the Germans, in which they intentionally left out two security checks. For some inexplicable reason, this did not raise any red flags. As no one in London realized messages being received from SOE agents in the Netherlands were being sent under the control and direction of German military intelligence, more agents and equipment followed unabated for more than 18 months. Of the 54 SOE agents sent to the Netherlands, 50 died or were executed whilst being held prisoner by the Germans.
