Helen Fry In Conversation with Robin Lustig on “The London Cage”

The London Cage

Sunday, December 13 (11-12 EST 4-5pm GMT) 

The first complete account of the fiercely guarded secrets of London’s clandestine centre, operated by the British Secret Service from 1940 to 1948.

Behind the locked doors of three mansions in London’s exclusive Kensington Palace Gardens neighborhood, the British Secret Service established a highly secret prison in 1940: the London Cage. Here recalcitrant German prisoners of war were subjected to “special intelligence treatment.” The stakes were high: the war’s outcome could hinge on obtaining information German prisoners were determined to withhold. After the war, high-ranking Nazi war criminals were housed in the Cage, revamped as an important center for investigating German war crimes.
