Description
BBC R4 Documentary - 'The Implausible Spy'
Bernard Durrant's 'Journey To Nirvana'
Produced by Paul Majoria
Broadcast January 3, 1995
Coded from tape at 128/44.1

Bernard Durrant tells his story.

Recruited to British military intelligence while a
teenager. Posted to Germany as a secret agent.
Captured in 1939. To save his life he agreed to
become a double agent.

Posted to Egypt to spy on British shipping, escaped
his German minders, turned himself over to British
military, who sent him back to prison in Britain, where
he remained for the rest of the war.

One of those odd stories [like The Marburg File] the
BBC broadcasts, which then drops from view again.

I was left wondering, if they thought him a German
spy, why didn't they execute him? And if they didn't,
why lock him up for the whole war?

But more to the point - why this man at all? He was
obviously going to be useless. Or was that the point?
