Event type: Meeting

Venue: Trinity Church Hall

Paul Bayliss will give a talk on The Life and Times of Double Agent Zigzag – The Eddie Chapman Story. Eddie Chapman hated authority and was in trouble with the law from an early age. On the run from Scotland Yard, he was imprisoned for burglary in Jersey just before German forces invaded in June 1940. Rather than spend the whole war in prison, he agreed to train as a German secret agent. But he then turned himself over to MI5 and worked as a double agent. A fascinating true story of espionage.
