His name was Popov. Dusko Popov. A double Serb agent during World War II, who became a shaved gambler, also known as a women's seducer, who had also had contact with James Bond's creator, Ian Fleming.
Casino Estoril in Portugal is believed to have been the place where many known spies met each other during World War II. ”
This is believed to have been where Dusko Popov and Ian Fleming met in the summer of 1941, which is said to have led to James Bond's idea, the Periscope broadcasts from the BBC.
Dusko Popov was born in 1912 in a wealthy Serb family. After graduating from the Belgrade University Law School, he had gone to Germany to continue his studies. There he had made friends, and they would link him with Abwehr, German military intelligence.
Abwehri had sent him to England to spy out that country's government, but Popov had immediately gone to the British Secret Service MI6 and told her everything she knew.
After being trained in Italy, he was sent to Portugal as a double agent to meet with his German chief living in Estoril, a beach resort near Lisbon.
“Portuguese was a neutral place during World War II, and like all neutral countries in Europe, it had become a place for spies to gather. Through hotel corridors, in hotel cafes, there were many spies, mostly British and German. They would greet each other and co-exist, trying to reveal secrets. ”
His next mission would be in the United States.
But before leaving for the United States, he was seen by Fleming making gestures that could not be imagined for a spy. Having fun with girls, making vulgar gestures, and so on.
He had gone with many beautiful women, including French actress Simone Simon.
Some even feel that he had been a triple agent because he had served Americans.
However, Serbian historian Stankovic feels differently. While his family was starving in Belgrade, he was spending thousands and thousands of money. The FBI chief had not trusted him, nor did he trust him with Pearl Harbor when he said he could be attacked. ”
Popov's family was held hostage during Belgrade's Nazi occupation. That's why the Germans would believe as a spy. /Periscope
