Spying on Hitler: The Spy and the Devil with Tim Willasey-Wilsey

Tim Willasey-Wilsey comes on Spymasters to talk about the life and espionage career of Baron Bill de Ropp, a spy who infiltrated the Nazi Party during the rise of Adolf Hitler. The discussion covers his early life, his motivations for espionage, his complex relationships with key figures in the Nazi regime, and the challenges he faced as a spy. The conversation also delves into the historical context of the Baltic Germans, the dynamics of British intelligence during the interwar period, and the implications of de Ropp's reports on the perception of Nazi Germany within the British government. Bill de Ropp was a key figure in MI6's early espionage efforts. His linguistic skills allowed him to blend into various societies. de Ropp's loyalty shifted from Germany to Britain during WWI. He played a significant role in monitoring the Nazi Party's rise. His relationship with Alfred Rosenberg was pivotal for intelligence gathering. His first meeting with Hitler was fraught with tension.
