The story of John Eppler a German spy
Script adapted by Edward Ward from the book
' The Cat and the Mice '. by Leonard Mosley
John Eppler 's activities in Cairo in the summer of 1942 had a significant effect on the conduct of the war in the Western Desert. He secured the information Field-Marshal Rommel needed to assist his advance on Cairo, but by a master-stroke of irony could not get it to the Field-Marshal; and British Intelligence officers, using his code, his call-sign ' Condor Calling,' and his radio wavelength, were able to mislead the Afrika Korps regarding British plans prior to the Battle of Alamein.
