As seen on pbs and Channel 4 documentary "Spying on Hitler's Army"... This is the story of the German émigrés who fled Hitler’s regime and became secret listeners for British Intelligence during the Second World War. Behind the walls of the M Room (M for 'miked') they bugged the conversations of over 10,000 German PoWs, including 59 German Generals at Trent Park in North London. Providing a detailed, oft humorous, insight into life of the Generals in captivity, the book shows the farcical ‘stage-set’ in which they found themselves. But against this backdrop, the secret listeners eavesdropped on admission of war crimes and terrible atrocities against Russians, Poles and Jews; as well as details of an SS mutiny in a concentration camp in 1936, and Hitler’s human ‘stud farms’. This story places firmly on record just how much British and American Intelligence knew about Hitler's annihilation programme and how early. Why at the end of the war were these files not released for the war crimes trials to bring the perperators to justice? Was this one of the darkest secrets of the war? These transcripts, and thousands of others, of some of the most important Nazi secrets remained classified until 1999. During their clandestine work the secret listeners did not set eyes on a single German PoW, yet their work and the intelligence they gained was as significant for winning the war as Bletchley Park and cracking the Enigma Code. For over sixty years the listeners never spoke about their work, not even to their families. Many went to their grave bearing the secrets of the nation which had saved them from certain death.

This is the story of one of Britain’s intelligence services during WW II that bugged conversations of German PoWs, including up to 98 German Generals and high ranking officials at Trent Park Estate in North London. The most important dimension of the entire bugging operation was it provided unguarded conversations between the top ranks of Hitler's military. British Intelligence, MI 19, was overhearing raw, unadulterated comments and views of German Generals on a spectrum of political and strategic information throughout WW II.This fast moving, easy to read, well written book provides insight into Germany and its military and political mindset during this period not found in other places. Butted up against this backdrop the secret listeners eavesdropped on admissions of war crimes and terrible atrocities against humanity. This book firmly documents on the record what Britain knew about the Holocaust.
The book is composed of interviews with survivor offspring with review of items left by the deceased along with former classified government transcripts the author, Helen Fry, obtained after they were release from the National Archives in1999. The transcripts were independently corroborated but not used at the Nuremberg trials nor at any war crimes trials due to suppression by MI 9. There are over 100,000 of these transcripts held in this depository. Much of the material obtained regarded the Nazi Jewish orgy of killing during WW II.
Any one interested in this period would do themselves a huge favor by reading this fascinating book for there are items in it that have not surfaced in any other texts that I have read.

The M Room Secret Listeners who Bugged the Nazis in WW2 Helen Fry 9781481020084 Books Reviews
a fascinating story from WWII of how the British housed capture high ranking German officers, listened in to their conversations amongst themselves, and utilized the information to further the Allied war effort, frequently, with dramatic results.
Reading this educational book makes one wonder how the Allies were able to prevail. So many errors and mistakes took place but we overcame the adversity and freed Europe. A good read.
This was an amazing story, and well written.
Great reading on what went on behind the scenes in WW 2. A great service done by people that escaped the Nazi rule.
It gives you an Insite how much information was gleaned from the prisoners and the help it was to the Allied cause.
This group was as important as the code breakers were.
Fascinating history of WWII from a unique angle--the eavesdroppers! The only thing one wonders is why it took the British government so long to declassify these reports, which were very important for military intelligence the overheard conversations of German prisoners in British confinement. A great book for history buffs.
A very interesting book about an aspect of WWII that it seems few, including myself knew about. The allied codebreakers at Bletchley Park and elsewhere have been centre stage, but in this book Helen Fry has revealed an major aspect of allied intelligence gathering that produced results of the same order of importance. The book deals with the story of the special POW camps housing senior German officers and the clandestine monitoring and recording of those officers' private conversations ultimately by locally recruited ex-patriot Jewish Germans. The information gleaned was invaluable in many campaigns.
The sad aspect is that oneof the innermost secrets of the German warmachine, the concentration camps were laid bare to these intelligence gatherers who being sworn to secrecy had to privately endure the pain that their friends and relatives may be going through. Furthermore although this information was available to the allied top brass, for various reasons it could not be passed down or publicised for fear of revealing the sources.
An interesting book but not always an easy read. Recommended to all who want to know all about intelligence gathering in WWII.
This book is not great literature but it is fascinating since it lets you read senior German military men unknowingly indicting themselves while prisoners of the British. The British intelligence people did a masterful job of bugging every conversation the Germans had. The Germans never had a clue and spilled their guts. It is fascinating and yet horrifying and lays waste to the theory that the German Wehrmacht was not aware or and did not participate in atrocities in WW II and that it was only the Nazi's and the SS who did all those terrible things. German army officers thought themselves better than the Nazis but in truth they weren't. But the fact that the British did not want to reveal the bugging system since it was so successful that they never turned any of the material over to the war crimes courts and so all these Germans got off scot free and no doubt participated in the postwar government and military in spite of their crimes and their failure as human beings.
Readers with an interest in this type of thing should definitely read this book. There is another book on this subject recently published called Soldaten but it is much more of a textbook psychoanalysis of why Germans behaved the way they did with not a lot of direct quotations from the POW's. The M Room is much more interesting. The author has written a number of books in a similar vein which I think I will try and get.
