Description (What the record is about)
-
Selected Historical Papers relating to MULLET: British. MULLET worked pre-war in Brussels. Having escaped to Lisbon via France he was cultivated by HAMLET (see KV/2/327), who purported to represent anti-Hitler Germans who wished to establish contact with the British Authorities. In fact, as is confirmed by ISOS traffic, HAMLET appointed MULLET as his commercial representative in Great Britain, assisted by PUPPET (see KV/2/329). MULLET and PUPPET provided commercial cover for secret writing correspondence between 'agents' in Great Britain and HAMLET in Lisbon until 1944 when the Abwehr lost interest in the case. PUPPET's material included British disinformation concerning, among other things, the invasion plans.
