I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

I can't remember if the film covered the German side as well. I know a more recent documentary did, but the latest offering included interviews with Major Martin's girl friend.

One thing it didn't cover was whether the briefcase was returned (or did I miss that with MiL shouting through it). It was 'essential' that it was returned so that we would not know that the Germans knew our plans.
