There's always Yoshiko Kawashima, a Manchu princess who became a secret agent serving Japan out of hatred for the Imperial Chinese government.
When the Chinese finally caught her and charged her with treason, she claimed that she was not guilty because as a Manchu royal, she owed no loyalty to China. They still executed her.

Pujol was a Spanish national who landed a job spying for Nazi Germany before acting as a double agent in service to the British. He created an extensive network of spies in service to him that each got a pension on the Nazi payroll, only problem was none of these men existed, but were imaginary names to funnel money back to himself, with characters including a Venezuelan dock worker, a wine-drinking Scotsman, and a Swiss banker.
His intel reports to Germany were always either half-true or reported shortly after the information would've been useful to stop allied armies, but they kept him on the payroll and never noticed.
His biggest hoax was sending intel reports that the Allied invasion would be at Calais, with a diversionary force landing at Normandy, which the Germans accepted and kept Normandy lightly guarded for the landings.
Pujol then took the cash he was receiving from both the Axis and Allies and retired to Venezuela and ran a book store for the rest of his life.

Serves him right.

I believe all german spy landing on britain instantly went over.
Hell one of the agency worked more on keeping his job instead of any actually spying

Is derailing the thread using pic unrelated info to write a post a clever ironic way of doing it? I see it here all the time and I laugh thinking that's smart. Please tell me it is, because if it is autism my life is a lie

He's not even an actor, just some random Australian model they picked up.
