Better organized than previous videos on the subject. More attention should have been paid to Buckmaster irresponsibly ignoring security codes repeatedly. Had he reacted in a competent manner things might have gone differently. He gave the Germans the information they needed to play the radio game! He ignored the system that had been set up to prevent this situation. He should have been reprimanded. Lives were lost needlessly! Also attention should have been given to the two Canadian agents lost because of this triple agent.
@@walkerhaw5468 LOL, CSIS is one of the world's elite foreign intelligence agencies - they are so good you never hear about it. Intelligence work is supposed to be boring.
it happens with multiple agencies, no matter the nation, and unfortunately whoever is the most psychopathic and loyal to the main handler wins. Which is why compartmentalization is a better thing. Sometimes the lines are blurred etc, which is why violence is the last refuge b/c at the zero point, you could have multiple agencies and belligerents doiing the same thing and they are so good at it, you would not know until the spark started the fire.
Seen this one a few times now and every time I am surprised at the viewpoint of MRD Foot. Dansey strongly disliked SOE; Dericourt was pushed in SOE’s direction and snapped up because of his aviation experience; Dericourt has contacts in both Luftwaffe and Gestapo; Foot points out that SOE behind the lines warfare attracts too much attention from German Security Forces and endangers SIS operations; Prosper are sloppy with their own security and are beginning to attract German attention; Dericourt allows Gestapo to read SOE messages and eventually Prosper Network is destroyed; Dansey is doing cartwheels now because he’s got his agent in with the Gestapo with impeccable credentials now and has removed a major thorn in his side by neutralising what he feels is a sub par outfit. I can understand Buckmaster being cagey in the BBC interview because he’s been shown his own inability in the spy game, and probably thought that he’d been played by Dansey. But Foot going in the direction that he feels critics are accusing SIS of planting a mole in SOE to spy on them is just plain stupid. As the documentary points out, the only person who could say for sure would have been Dericourt. But even if he was alive today you probably couldn’t take him at his word as he had already proven to SIS that he would lie about his background. And he’d probably still be subject his oath of secrecy.
Talking of double agents - Russia has now their long-time agents as a president in the US (Trump), had them as presidents Czechia (Klaus, Zeman), and prime ministers in Germany (Schröder, Scholz) or Slovakia (Fico). And I don't mean they have same opinion and leaning, I do mean secret service operatives.
Mumbling, evah-sew-inglish accents, means the AI generated transcript is gibberish. "dercor" is not the villain's name nor "derrycore" and they're uncapitalized so it took me a while to figure out it was meant to be his name. Do better...hire humans.
Incompetent senior offices will always cost lives.
just like incompetent managers in business...
and tech oligarchs like the muskrat and vivek rather smarmy
And bureaucratic in-fighting by Civil Servants - protecting their own little empires!
Imagine the level of deception and counter-intelligence at play during this operation. History is more complex than any spy thriller...

yep...
Is that Rick Astley on the thumbnail?
That's good. I was thinking Liev Schreiber.
I was thinking Attorney Tom! He has a little bit of a lazy eye, too.
Drake bell
Cmon it's clearly Samuel Jackson
He never gives up
Great video and valuable information. Amazing work and research 👍
Happy New Year!
Dang... the girl is a known novice and gives away the cipher through extreme negligence. .. then gets an award?
Canada needs its own Forgin intelegence service so we don't need to depend on MI6 and CIA.
CSIS.
It does have one you just never hear about.
@@Guy-Lewis It's not Forgin. CSIS is domestic

@@walkerhaw5468 I suggest that you a) learn to spell, and b) check the details of CSIS's mandate.
Fantastic video with insightful information. Excellent effort and thorough research!
yes
Very nice man as Rick Astley is.
Historisches ist immer wieder interessant.
Another fantastic quality documentary

Guys i think we just got rickrolled in a ww2 documentary.
That's he looks like Rick Astley
Do we know where Rick Astley was during WW2?
I though he was Homelander in the thumbnail
Looks like a young Bono
Excellent!🇺🇸
That’s not the true though, that the allies didn’t invade anywhere else until 1944!! They invaded Italy in 1943!

B.S that's not Drake Bell on the thumbnail
GOD BLESS AMERICA, UNITED KINGDOM AND ISRAEL(MOSSAD). VS. GERMANY, JAPAN AND RUSSIA (COMMUNISM).

What
This one isn't AI, the name of the narrator is in the credits. The copyright date on this is 2011, well before AI (also in the credits).
This is an episode from an almost 15 year old TV series...
@@matttheyak The video Narration and TH-cam transcript are two different things.
