How did
Julie do it? She made it sound like she was so upset to be giving the Germans names of people or airfields, but really she didn’t give them the correct name for anything. Maidsend is the only real airfield she mentioned. The account reminds
Maddie of the first day she met Julie, when Julie suddenly became a German radio operator. She was so good at pretending. Julie’s account is full of errors. The
RAF Maidsend Squadron Leader is actually called Leland North, not
Creighton—Creighton is the name of the colonel in
Kim. Julie made Maddie read the book, presumably to make Maddie understand that they were being groomed for war (by the Bloody
Machiavellian Intelligence Officer, whose real name Julie also knew).
