225362 Ronald Seth Royal Air Force A man I met many years ago, who has since died, roused my interest and we became friends - but later we lost contact.
Recently I tried his name on the internet and found a Wiki entry saying that after being recruited from the RAF by SOE, he had been captured by the German SD and 'turned' ending up as a stool pigeon in Oflag 79 for a considerable time until 1945. This is not at all what he told me, though I did get the feeling that he was rather a storyteller.
I knew him as Ronald Seth and he wrote many books about spying after the war.
I assume that if he was at Oflag 79 (or anywhere else) he wouldn't have used that name.
Can anyone throw any light on this?
