Green Colditz letters
Green relayed information to the British in coded letters

Green (who, unbeknownst to the Nazis, was Jewish) was employed within the army dental corps during the second world war and spied for the British while imprisoned in a range of POW camps.

The set comprises coded correspondence to his family under the guise of normal, albeit slightly eccentric, English.

We have a strong selection of militaria available.
