What could have been more charming than a group of seven schoolboys, all smartly dressed in shorts and jackets, cycling along the sun-dappled lanes of rural Lincolnshire one Friday afternoon?
It was the middle of July 1937, a more innocent time, and on the backs of the boys’ bicycles were panniers that contained food and camping equipment for an old-fashioned expedition.
As they made good progress on their 180-mile ride from Grimsby to London, the party could hardly have known that they were being scrutinised by the British state – or, indeed, that the surprising instruction to keep them under close surveillance had come down all the way from the head of the Security Service, MI5.
He had written to chief constables informing them that ‘a party of young Germans are [...] intending to bicycle to London by easy stages… Should they pass through your area we should be interested in any details you can let us have about the route they follow’.
Why, with war clouds looming, would MI5 show interest in a group of schoolboys on bikes? The answer is quite simple: it was suspected not only that these young riders were members of the Hitler Youth but, worse, that they were actually agents on two wheels – or ‘spyclists’, as they and others like them would become known.
The claim might seem outlandish. But after spending a year trawling archives around the world for a new television series on Hitler’s post-victory plans, I believe there is every chance the security services were correct.
Much as we British like to congratulate ourselves about our wartime efficiency, the truth is that our island had been riddled with Nazi spies and sympathisers in the years leading up to 1939.

Full title of article: The real SS-GB: Documentary reveals Hitler's plans for Nazi Britain including schoolboy spies scouting the land by bike and Noel Coward being on a kill list
And they now have the school boy spies of the left. Ready to report any defiance to the PC thought police.
Don’t believe me?

Wait, so H plans were to create legions of bicycle spies after he WON?
Eric Blair knew his countrymen well.
Thank God for 1776!

What do people think their typical SJW is? Today's annoyance, tomorrow's STASI.
“Today’s annoyance, tomorrow’s STASI.”
Nicely put.
I must report this to the Leader.
I wonder if SS-GB is anywhere us mere Americans can watch.
Today Britain and America are in the grip of fascists. President Trump is a spiritual reincarnation of Winston Churchill, fighting against it and constantly under attack by the fascists, and we are la résistance. Pray that we succeed and that the hideous neo-nazi scourge will be wiped once again from the earth.
The world should have taken note, when President Trump restored the bust of Winston Churchill to the Oval Office, but such is the power of neo-fascism and its propaganda machine (the mainstream news media) that the importance of this symbolism was lost on millions.
I know the book by Len Deighton is still around. VERY good book.
I checked IMDB.COM on this & looks like it was shown (season 1) in 2017. We have Britbox, Amazon, Netflix & Acorn. I was hoping one of those would be showing. Sad how we have to watch British TV for anything good
I read the book, and watched the mini-series. In my opinion, the book was much better than the tv show.
I just downloaded the first episode of "Nazi Victory: The Post-War Plan." It's a six-parter.

Can I ask where you downloaded that from?
so.....all of these bike lanes that Mayor Bill Peduto is throwing up around Pittsburgh are prepping us for a Nazi invasion?
Thanks for another very good post, beaversmom.

Well said. Today’s SJW’s would round us up in a minute if they could do so.
