The Eagle in the Mirror | Jesse Fink
The longest serving spy for the Secret Intelligence Service (M16), Ellis helped set up the Australian Secret Intelligence Service as well as the Office of Strategic Services, the forerunner of the Central Intelligence Agency At one point in the 1940s he was considered one of the top three secret agents in M16 and controlled its activities ‘for half the world’.
But in the 1980s espionage writer Chapman Pincher and retired Security Service (M15) intelligence officer Peter Wright posthumously accused Ellis of having operated as a ‘triple agent’ for Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union.
In 1965, while under interrogation, Ellis has allegedly confessed to supply information to the Nazis before World War 11. His purported betrayal was considered even worse than notorious British traitor Kim Pilby, who defected to the Soviet Union in 1963.
