Kidnapping in World War II
On April 30, 1944, German Abwehr agent Johann Jebsen (who was collaborating with Britain's MI6) was kidnapped in Lisbon, drugged, stuffed in a trunk, cashiered to Biarritz, France and flown to Berlin, never to be seen again. What few know is that he held the secrets about Britain's most valuable double agents, who held the secrets about the Allied D-Day invasion deception. To his credit, Jebsen never talked, even after torture in the infamous Gestapo prison in Berlin. Thousands of lives were protected by his steadfast silence.
