With the collapse of the Soviet empire, it is easy to regard what went before the second Cold War as at best irrelevant and at worst, in the ...

... Scott Newton Kenneth De Courcy Kenneth de Courcy buffs will be pleased to know that they can now visit a website with some interesting further information about this maverick figure. The site can be found at< http:// www.pharo.com/intelligence >, and is run by the team which produced Double Standards, last year's interesting study of the Hess affair. Some of the material will be familiar to Lobster readers from articles by myself and John Burnes in recent editions and there is no need to recycle it here. The most interesting new development concerns de Courcy's connection with the Swedes. This revolved around the diplomat Bjorn Prytz, who was the intermediary between Britain and Germany in the ...

... with the Economist Intelligence Unit. As an old-fashioned Marxist, used to finding that left-wing politics could be an obstacle to employment, I can understand an LM seller's scorn when, asked about my own outlook, I foolishly used the obsolete expression 'class struggle'. From M. R. D. Foot Scott Newton's reproaches to me about where Hess was wounded are misplaced: he should go back to the written evidence, instead of relying on a television trap. On page 73 of Charles A. Gabel's Conversations interdites avec Rudolf Hess (Paris: Plon, 1988) under the date of 16 May 1979, the pastor records that Hess had a good laugh over the idea that ...

... of much of the first three issues. In my case, sympathetic to NTB, I have said very little about it because much of what I had to say would have been critical. With no. 4 two things have happened: there are more people writing for it and writing on a wider field than before, with pieces on Hess, Bettaney, and the WRP, for example; and O'Hara's own writing seems to have become less convoluted wirh less guesswork to fill in the gaps in his knowledge. This is presumably because the centrepiece of this issue, 21 pages by O'Hara and David Pegg, on operations to discredit the anti-EU cause in this country by agents of ...

(c) www.lobster-magazine.co.uk (Issue 41) Summer 2001 Last| Contents| Next Issue 41 Historical Notes Scott Newton De Courcy, Pilcher and Hess Recently released material in the Public Record Office throws more light on the career of Kenneth de Courcy, and perhaps indirectly, on the Hess affair. The file in question, an MI5 document, PROKV4/58, shows that de Courcy first came to the attention of the Security Service in 1934 (without explaining why) and was under intermittent observation up to the outbreak of war with Germany. Thereafter he was 'kept under close observation', particularly in view of his association with 'appeasers, Russophobes and Petainists'. He was ...

Foot Scott Newton's footnote at the end of his piece on Hess, in your number tries to keep alive Dr Hugh Thomas's tale that the pilot who reached Scotland could not have been Hess, because he bore no trace of the gunshot wound the real Hess had received in Roumania in 1971. This was disposed of in 1988, when Charles Gabel published in Paris his Conversations secrets avec Rudolf Hess, without knowledge of which no one should tackle the subject at all. Hess told Gabel that a later team of doctors had, repeat, ...
