THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
British Double-Cross of Nazis
in `Beyond Top Secret Ultra'
By ALAN HITSKY
Defense considerations,
even three decades after
World War II, have led
Great Britain to conceal
much of its famous cloak-
and-dagger counter-
intelligence operations that
were established to mislead
the Nazis.
In 1953, Eweh Montagu's
"The Man Who Never Was"
became a best-seller, and
--now his "Beyond Top Secret
Ultra" has been published
(Coward, McCann &
Geoghegan) to give a
broader view of Britain's
phenomenal success in de-
coding German signals and

military.
Montagu, a British naval
officer during the war and a
Central figure in the British
deception and intelligence
units, describes the British
successes from his personal
experiences.
Following the war,
Montagu stayed in the
navy and served as judge
advocate of the fleet from
1-945-1973. Active in the
Jewish community, he
served as president of the
United Synagogue for
eight years.
Section 17M of British
naval intelligence served as
the focal point for coun-
terintelligence activities.
Its main duty throughout
the war was to devise a
means of deceiving the
Germans about the location
of the invasion of Europe.
The British succeeded tre-
mendously, even deceiving
the Germans for days after .

sion at Pas de Calais.
Montagu described how
the British were able to in-
tercept nearly every spy
-sent to England by Ger-
many; monitor German
radio signals; use col-
laborating "neutral"
Spanish diplomats to the
Allies' advantage; and even
deceive the German navy
into changing U-boat tac-
tics and V-bomb ranges
through deceptive misin-
formation.
The British used cap-
tive spies for counter-
intelligence, built up fic-
titious spy networks to
which the grateful Ger-
mans air-dropped
money, and fed the Ger-
mans enough truthful,
but harmless, - materials
to make their spies be-
leiveable and able to de-
ceive the German milit-
ary.

the Germans but used as a
double agent by the British,

tries.

"Beyond . Top Secret
Ultra" is a personal, breezy
account of an important,
little-known aspect of
World War II. At times
skimpy in details, it
nevertheless reveals much
of Britain's cloak-and-
dagger operations and their
phenomenal success at de-
ceiving the Germans and af-
fecting their strategy.

Ezekiel Solomons, the
first Jewish settler in
Michigan, came to Fort
Michilimackinac (Mac-
kinac) in 1761 when Michi-
gan was governed by the
British. •
Michigan's Jewish
"pioneer was not only a rug-
ged Indian trader but also a
public spirited man and a
fighter of anti-Semitism.
Solomons came to
Montreal with the British
troops at the time of the
British conquest of Canada
in 1759-1760. He was a sup-
plyman to the British army
and after the British con-
quest of Canada engaged in
the lucrative fur trade.
The British military
ruled Cai,xada with a high
hand. In 1764, while he
was a justice of the peace
in Montreal, soldiers
broke into the home of
Thomas Walker, brutally
assaulted him, and cut off
one of his ears. The civi-
lian population appealed
to Gov. James Mu _ rray for
redress. Among the sig-
natures of "merchants,
traders and others of the
City of Montreal" was
that of Ezekiel Solomons
and Co.
Many Canadians re-
sented being ruled by the
military and protested
against taxation without
representation. In 1774 this
agitation resulted in the
passage by the British Par-
liament of the "Quebec Act"
which, among other things,
gave Canada a legislative
council, instead of an
elected assembly.
Some Protestants in
Montreal, indignant about
the legislation, smeared
with paint the bust of King
George - III on Place
D'Armes Square, hung a
wreath of potatoes around
his royal neck, and attached
a placard with the inscrip-
tion written in French, "Be-
hold the Pope of Canada and
the English Fool." -
When the word got
around- about the King's
bust, a crowd gathered at
the Square and speculation
ran wild as to the perpet-
rators. An enraged
.French-Canadian ‘• shouted
that the Jews are radicals
and disloyal to the King and
that they are the ones who
disfigured the bust.
Ezekiel Solomons, who
was in the crowd, .vehe-
mently denied it. A
heated altercation fol.- -
lowed and Ezekiel Sol-
omons, the rugged Indian
trader, knocked the
Frenchman to the ground
with one punch. The
Frenchman then swore
out a warrant for the ar-
rest of Solomons, who
was released on bail.
Another Jew who was in
the crowd was David Salis-
bury Franks, son-in-law of
Levi Solomons, who was a
partner and a relative of
Ezekiel Solomons. A
French-Canadian declared
indignantly that the scoun-
drel who had defaced the pounds bail before he was
King's statue ought to be released.
hanged. David Franks, re-
Franks later returned to
plied sarcastically, "In Eng- Philadelphia where he
land men are not hanged for carved his name in Ameri-
such small offenses".
Frank's answer provoked a can Jewish history as a pat-
quarrel, -and he spent a riot, statesman and dip-
week in jail in lieu of 10,000 lomat.
