Like his colleague writer Raymond Chandler and PG Wardhouse, the British writer of popular fiction Dennis Wheatley attended Darrich College, where he wasn't doing well. In fact, he was expelled. He published the first novel, Forbidden territory , 1933, 36 years old. He worked on a merchant ship, was gassed with a chlorine attack in Paschendale during World War I, and was disabled at home to manage his family's wine business in London. He began writing when the Great Depression struck the wine trade and soon succeeded.
Forbidden territory After seven prints in seven weeks, he began writing in 1977 until Wheatley died at the age of 80. In the early 1960s, when I met paperback as a teenager, publisher Hutchinson was making more sales. More than 1 million Wheatley books every year. Along with Agatha Christie, he became one of the most successful novelists in the UK. Broadly speaking, in 44 years he produced 55 novels, several short story collections, and a non-fiction biography of Charles II.
This short literary biography of Dennis Wheatley is an introduction to Tina Rosenberg, a new Kindle single about him. D for fraud , Focusing on the important and real role of Wheatley, helping Winston Churchill and his general organize a number of false information campaigns that disrupt and disrupt the German Supreme Command during World War II . When Germany declared war with Britain in 1939, the second time in Wheatley's life, he was already 42 years old and too old to participate, but played an important role in the war I was longing for.
Wheatley's wife's friend worked with him to write a short paper on tactics and strategies that happened more easily for spyfiction writers than trained military men. Wishing to do something useful for the war, Wheatley worked overnight and produced a document with a title of 7,000 words in 14 hours. Resistance to invasion .
By imagining German tactics and imagining his tactics, he was able to develop a series of countermeasures to quickly stop the German plan to overwhelm the British Isles. He sent this in the morning to a strange address, "Work Office". It was later discovered that Wheatley was the cover name of the Whitehall Defense Ministry's joint planning staff.
When his first paper was praised, Wheatley wrote about 20 additional papers from May 1940 to August 1941, most of which were completed with a sleepless frenzy of champagne and tobacco. did. Unlike Wheatley's popular novels read by millions of British people, the audience of these war documents was small. This included joint planning staff, members of the war cabinet, Churchill, and the king.
He came up with various plans and plans to deceive Germans who are surprised by their originality. Author Tina Rosenberg said that by the end of the war, Germany was enough for only 50,000 people to maintain control of the country, so when Wytree's It could have been used more effectively elsewhere that estimated that 300,000 German troops had been left in Norway as a result of fasting and fainting.
Wheatley has developed an idea that civilians can do to fight off Nazi invaders. Place the mined fishing net barrier 2 miles offshore. Apply flaming oil to water. Make a cover fire on thousands of beaches and deny that the enemy is hiding in the dark. Dig a shallow trench in front of the gunner's position, fill it with oil, and ignite it if necessary to conceal it for retreat. Pour water into gasoline at the gas station. Remove the sign with the name of the inn or station. All these help you know where the enemy is. Park trains outside railroad junctions are natural targets for bombing. Throw flammable material into the forest so that it can be lit in the face of a moving enemy.
As he tricked Germany into believing that Norway was not a real British target, he succeeded in persuading him to refrain from Normandy reinforcements before he successfully landed on June 6, 1944. . Many of Rosenberg's short e-books explain in detail how Wheatley separated this clever deception. Some admirers equated the work of the Codebreaker in Bletchley Park, a famous story of World War II, and its impact on the progress of the war. In fact, because the German traffic can be read, the effect of his deception can be measured almost instantaneously, so the code breaker greatly helped Wheatley's efforts.
Deceiving the Germans is the most effective art, and if the cover story was what the enemy had already believed, it was immediately revealed in the white hole. It didn't have to be plausible in the UK, it just needed to be plausible in Berlin. This was an important insight into the entire false information campaign. Since Hitler had already believed that the British would invade Norway, Wheatley gave them a better reason to believe the wrong evaluation. Similarly, Hitler gave him enough justification to reinforce that misunderstanding, as Curry was convinced that Eisenhower's troops landed rather than Omaha Beach.
He was so successful in keeping the troops in wetlands in Norway, so the Germans could not afford to send from France to North Africa, so they helped ensure the Allied victory there. The British fleet arrived in Oran and Algiers without losing one ship or one sailor. And Hitler was convinced that Normandy's invasion was tricky until it was too late to respond effectively.
Wheatley's efforts to pull the wool over the German eyes worked partly because the axis intelligence intelligence was a weakness in their army. Abwehr, a German military intelligence agency, was terribly operated and notorious for corruption, and German officers held funds that they would pay to agents. Some “reports” from German agents are actually a complete fabrication construction, which simply helped Wheatley.
After the war, Dennis Wheatley resumed his tremendously successful career as the predecessor of spy-fiction writers Ian Fleming and James Bond, and his role in the war was accurately hidden It was not, but until now it has not been advertised much. D for fraud A wonderful non-fiction short film that anyone interested in World War II can enjoy.
