The hope that had made the deprivations of the war bearable, explained the journalist Sebastian Haffner (who experienced the events in Berlin at first hand), was the constant reassurance that Germany was about to win. The shocking revelation that Germany had lost was scarcely understandable. Haffner, who was eleven on the day the Armistice took effect, entered a deep depression. “Where could one find stability and security, faith and confidence, if world events could be so deceptive? If triumph upon triumph led to ultimate disaster, and the true rules of history were revealed only retrospectively in a shattering outcome? I stared into the abyss.” He wasn’t the only one.

Germany, Hitler urged in his Gemlich letter, needed to become a dictatorship to rid the country of the Jewish “racial tuberculosis.” Several years later, in Mein Kampf, he compared Jews to “bacteria” and suggested Nazism as an antibiotic. The supposedly medical language was part of his code for mass murder. Once again, Hitler was not being original.

Bell was the first known person to warn against the Nazis’ deadliest plots, and he did it twice. In the spring of 1919, he was the first intelligence agent to warn about the National Socialists and their plan for the Second World War.
