Summary
  • "This book seeks to answer a number of questions concerning the activities of Nazi Germans in London prior to World War II: who were they? What were they doing in London? How many of them were there, and how long did they stay? Were they mostly professional espionage agents, or simply Germans living and working in Britain? Once war broke out, were they interned or expelled?"
  • "Previously unpublished German documents reveal the fate of German diplomats, journalists, and professionals, many of whom were interned in Britain or deported to Nazi Germany following the outbreak of war on 3 September 1939. Nazis in Pre-War London is the first book to study the history of the Nazis in Britain. An Appendix provides occupation and personal information of the more than 400 German Party members who were in London before Hitler unleashed the Second World War."--Jacket.
