Did you know…
That Lord Mountbatten was appointed Supreme Commander SEAC, South East Asia Command, during WW2.
As part of his duties, he set up, and help run the SOE listening posts, that intercepted "enemy" communications.
Interesting,
Here is a bloke, vey rich, extremely well connected, who has experience in setting up, and running espionage rings.
Hang on, didn't SOE become OSS, and then the CIA?
My my, what tangled webs they weave.
