** To place your order,
*********** Then an almighty flash and a detonation that almost knocked us over. F______G time pencils! Wonderful invention, but not the soul of reliability. There was much shouting and about a dozen Germans erupted from the hut with Schmeissers letting loose all over the place. Noisy, but not like the SS! Then a dispatch rider on a motorcycle started off down the road. Not at all a good idea, so I decided to knock him off, despite revealing our position; got him with the second shot. In the meantime, like the well-trained soldiers they were, Andy and Jack began to pick off Germans with deliberate, well aimed single shots. I joined in. It was all over in about three minutes. We got them all... *********** One of the most shocking discoveries that I made during my research of Camp-X, was to learn that the British were actually spying on Canada, William Stephenson and the British Security Co-ordination. *********** It is highly likely that in 1943, while visiting Camp-X, Ian Fleming befriended Paul Dehn. A favourite activity of the officers at the Camp was to gather in the officers’ Mess Hall on a Saturday night to enjoy a drink and spin old yarns of their previous lives. During one of these memorable evenings, the two may well have had a very colourful conversation during which Fleming told Dehn of his idea to write a series of books about a super agent: much later, in 1964, Paul Dehn wrote the screenplay for Fleming’s blockbuster movie, ‘Goldfinger.’
Chapter 2 – The Paul Dehn Connection
*********** “Lynn, *********** “Lynn, thoroughly enjoyed the book launch, actually my first book launch, I cannot put the book down, it is like someone sitting across from you at a kitchen table telling a story! Can’t wait for the screenplay and the red carpet. I even like the font - getting old with these eyes - Continue writing and telling the story of what happened right in our back yards. *********** “...there is valuable new material about the camp in Dispatches from Camp-X. Scottish-born Captain Hamish Pelham Burn’s first person account of how he and two other instructors from Camp X staged a daring raid and destroyed a German radar installation in Brittany just before D-Day is the most dramatic. Also included is an account of Oxford-educated, British Major Paul E. Dehn, a Camp-X instructor in psychological warfare, who after the war became a highly successful screenwriter of spy and other mystery films such as Goldfinger (1964), The Spy Who Came in From the Cold (1965), and Murder on the Orient Express (1974).”
