Morton, Winston Churchill's Man of Mystery - Former FO Chief Historian Gill
Bennett
Former Foreign Office historian Gill Bennett who had access to the secret
archive of MI6, Britain's Secret Intelligence Service. Her book, Desmond Morton
Winston Churchill's Man of Mystery, is the most detailed account so far of
Winston Churchill's personal assistant and clandestine Intelligence officer
Desmond Morton. Gill explains his background and how he lived at Earlylands in
Crockham Hill, just a short walk from Winston Churchill's own home, Chartwell,
near Westerham in Kent. Gill does not believe that Winston Churchill was a
Freemason but evidence suggests otherwise. Morton was also involved after the
war in the important role of Britain's representative on the Tripartite
commission looking into the whereabouts of Nazi Gold.
The mysterious life and career of Desmond Morton,
Intelligence officer and personal adviser to Winston Churchill during the Second
World War, is exposed for the first time in this study based on full access to
official records. After distinguished service as artillery officer and
aide-de-camp to General Haig during the First World War, Morton worked for the
Secret Intelligence Service from 1919-1934,
As Director of the Industrial Intelligence Centre in the
1930s, Morton's warnings of Germany's military and industrial preparations for
war were widely read in Whitehall, though they failed to accelerate British
rearmament as much as Morton - and Churchill - considered imperative. Morton had
met Churchill on the Western Front in 1916 and supported him throughout the
'wilderness years', moving to Downing Street as the Prime Minister's
Intelligence adviser in May 1940. There he remained in a liaison role, with the
Intelligence Agencies and with Allied resistance authorities, until the end of
the war, when he became a 'troubleshooter' for the Treasury in a series of
tricky international assignments.
Major Sir Desmond Morton KCB CMG MC (13 November 1891 -- 31
July 1971) was a British military officer and government official. Morton played
an important role in organizing a response to appeasement of Germany under Adolf
Hitler during the period prior to World War II by providing intelligence
information about German re-armament to Winston Churchill. In 1940 Morton was
Churchill's personal assistant when he became prime minister.
Morton joined the Royal Artillery in 1911. He saw action in
World War I, and was shot in the heart at the Battle of Arras in 1917. However,
he survived and recovered, serving again with the bullet still inside. He served
as aide de camp to Sir Douglas Haig, commander of the British Expeditionary
Force from 1917 to 1918.
He was seconded to the Foreign Office in 1919 where he was
head of the Secret Intelligence Service's Section V, dealing with
counter-Bolshevism in the mid-1920s, and was Head of the Industrial Intelligence
Centre of the Committee of Imperial Defence from 1929 to 1939. From 1930 to 1939
he was also a member of the CID sub-committee on Economic Warfare.
In 1939, he became the Principal Assistant Secretary at the
Ministry of Economic Warfare, and became Churchill's Personal Assistant in 1940.
He served on the Economic Survey Mission to the Middle East in 1949, and served
in the Ministry of Civil Aviation from 1950 to 1953.
Morton was portrayed by Jim Broadbent in the 2002 film The
Gathering Storm.
Millions of words have been written about the fate of Marin
Bormann, Hitler's indispensable private secretary, and head of the Nazi Party
Chancellery, who vanished at the end of the Second World War. In October 1946
the most-wanted Nazi war criminal was condemned to death in absentia at
Nuremberg, but he was never found or brought to justice.
Christoper Creighton now reveals that in the final night and
day of the war, as the Soviet armies closed in on the capital of the Third
Reich, Bormann was lifted from Berlin by a Commando raiding party, led by Ian
Fleming, creator of James Bond, and himself.
The team spirited their captive down the waterways to meet
the Allies on the River Elbe, and by mid-May 1945 Bormann was safe in England,
where he assumed a new identity.
Operation James Bond was ordered by Major Desmond Morton,
head of the ultra-secret M Section of naval intelligence. Its ulterior purpose
was to recover the immense fortune appropriated by the Nazis and salted away in
numbered Swiss bank accounts, to which Bormann alone had access.
Christopher Creighton, whose real name, the book-jacket
informs us, is John Christopher Ainsworth Davis, has written a thumping yarn.
Mr Creighton claims from adolescence to have been befriended
by Von Ribbentrop, Lord Mountbatten (a college friend of his father), Major
Desmond Morton, Churchill's friend and head of the Industrial Intelligence
Centre, and by Churchill himself, when he and his mother rented a cottage on the
Chartwell estate. Morton recruited our hero, age 16, via Dartmouth into his
ultra-secret "M-section"
