Accurate?
This section seems unlikely to be accurate: "By May 1940, he was posing as a German Gestapo agent named "Jack King", a member of the Einsatzgruppe London,"

The Gestapo was a counterintelligence organisation, it did not run agents - that would be the SD or the Abwehr. Plus the Einsatzgruppe were death squads on the Eastern Front - why would there be one in London?--Shimbo (talk) 11:31, 18 September 2017 (UTC)


 * It's accurate. His badge, forged by MI-6, identified him as belonging to the Gestapo's Einsatzgruppe London, as covered in the cited source. The priority wouldn't have been whether the false credentials were technically correct but whether the Nazi-sympathising Britons he was meeting with would find them convincing.
