    AreYou

    Willing

  • If You Decide To Accept TheChallenge You May Proceed.

    On The Next Pages, You WillFind The Information ThatYou Need To Know... For Now.

  • Beware, nothing is what it seems to be, and every single piece of information is important.

  • At the start of World War II in 1939, the Portuguese Governmentdeclared that the 550-year-old Anglo-Portuguese Alliance remainedintact, but since the British did not seek Portuguese assistance,Portugal was free to remain neutral in the war. In an aide-mémoireof 5 September 1939, the British Government confirmed theunderstanding.

    As Adolf Hitler's occupation swept across Europe, neutral Portugalbecame one of Europe's last escape routes, a safe heaven for RoyalFamilies, and a Spy Hub.

    Several American reports called Lisbon "The Capital of Espionage".

    However, the PVDE (Portuguese State Surveillance and DefensePolice) maintained a neutral posture towards foreign espionageactivity, as long as there was no interference in internal policies.

    Writers such as Ian Fleming were based in Portugal, while otherprominent people such as the Duke of Windsor, and Royal Familiesfrom Spain, Italy, France, and Bulgaria, made Portugal, and inspecial, Cascais and Estoril, their second home, as they were exiledhere.

    At the Time, this region was in fact know as The Coast Of Kings.

    The Facts

  • German spies endeavored to acquireintelligence on Trans-Atlantic ships in anattempt to benefit their submarines fightthe Battle of the Atlantic.

    The Spanish Juan Pujol García, betterknown as Codename Garbo, passed onmisinformation to the Germans, hoping itwould accelerate the termination of theFranco regime; he was recruited by theBritish as a double agent while in Lisbon.

    Contrarywise, William Colepaugh, anAmerican conspirator, was recruited as anagent by the Germans while his ship wasin docked in Lisbon.

  • Through research, it was possible to identify the exactmoment when Ian Fleming first encountered an agentCodenamed Tricycle at Casino Estoril.

    This agent was a glamorous gentleman, a womanizer, and aspender, but he was in fact a patriot, although he was alsoa triple agent in the service of the British secret MI5, MI6,the German Abwehr, and the American FBI.

    Ian Fleming was at Casino Estoril, as an agent of MI-6, andan anonymous "supervisor" of Tricycle, when he put 35thousand dollars belonging to the British secret services onthe casino roulette, in a risky play against an arrogantgambler with rude and unobtrusive ways.

    It was this scene and this real life agent that Flemingwitnessed and led him years later to create the character ofthe famous secret agent James Bond - Codename 007 - inthe service of His British Majesty, in Casino Royale.
