| Description: |
Guenther Gustav Maria RUMRICH / Gustave RUMRICH: German. For two years between 1936 and 1938 a US army deserter, Guenther RUMRICH, was a valuable German agent in the USA, codenamed CROWN, who maintained contact with his controller in Hamburg through two Abwehr 'postboxes', Jessie JORDAN in Dundee and Gertrud BRANDY in Dublin. This link was detected when JORDAN came under investigation as a result of a MI5 double agent case. His brother, Gustave, a student at Prague University, also acted as a German agent, sending reports via Dublin too. Both were arrested in 1938 and sentenced to imprisonment |
