Description (What the record is about)
-
Oliver Charles GREEN, alias Tommy SUMMERS: British. A known communist since 1936 and a volunteer to the International Brigade, he was arrested in London in January 1942 for forging petrol coupons. A police search for evidence also recovered films of classified information and a diary containing cryptic references, apparently to meetings. GREEN was jailed for the forgery, and while there was interviewed by MI5 on the other matters. He admitted recruitment as a Russian spy while in Spain and gave some information (possibly in part untrue). He refused to identify sub-agents, though he claimed to have run some. The supplementary volume records action to identify them
