The Reluctant Spy

Times Online - Britain

"He was a true British hero," said Sir Peter Torry, the British Ambassador to Berlin, adding that Foley's activities were conducted at great personal risk as he did not have diplomatic immunity. "Frank Foley risked his life to save the lives of thousands of German Jews."

It's amazing that these stories are still appearing and revealing the most amazing of characters. Mild mannered, tubby and balding Frank saved the lives of 10,000 Jews and stopped key information about the atom bomb being passed on to the German high command.

So what did Frank do after the war ? Returned to normal life and died quietly. He's buried at Stourbridge where there is a small plaque.

Theres more of his life in Micheal Smith's book.
