Abstract
ABSTRACTIn this extended article the author recounts, in full, the security services investigation into the wartime escapades of British Special Operations Executive (SOE) double agent Ronald Sydney Seth. The article builds on Dr Wheatley’s original groundbreaking article from 2014 and offers crucial new information, some of it of a disturbing nature. In response to recent publications on the subject of Seth, Wheatley attempts to correctly place Seth’s reputation in the public’s perception. This article therefore restates in greater detail the security services conclusions that this former Abwehr and Sicherheitsdienst (SD) agent was ‘spiritually so much under German domination that he intends to work for an Anglo-German understanding and an anti-Russian policy after the war’, has ‘not told us (the British) all about the services he rendered to the Germans’, was of ‘unbalanced character and rabidly anti-Soviet’, ‘extremely untruthful’, prone to ‘megalomania’ and that ‘neither his loyalty to this country nor his discretion were all that could be desired’.
