WHAT DOES GARBO MEAN IN PORTUGUESE?

Juan Pujol García

Juan Pujol García

Joan Pujol García was a double-agent who operated during World War II using the codename Garbo of the allied side, and Arabal, Alaric or V-319 of the Nazi side. This Catalan most stood out in the merit of providing misinformation to Nazi Germany: in addition to having created a totally fictitious network that got to have 28 sub-agents; played along with his MI5 controller Thomas Harris a key role in Operation Fortitude, causing the Nazis to believe that the impending landing on the European continent would occur in the Pas-de-Calais region with a still larger contingent than that which was actually used on D-Day in Normandy. His ability to build a reputation and trust of the Nazis was such that, with Overlord already under way, he convinced them that despite the large scale of that operation, it had a diversionary character. The repercussion of his message made it reach Hitler himself, who personally ordered several Panzer and Infantry Divisions on their way to reinforce the Normandy defense to divert their course to Pas-de-Calais.

Joan Pujol García foi um agente-duplo que atuou durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial usando o codinome Garbo do lado aliado, e Arabal, Alaric ou V-319 do lado nazista. Este catalão foi quem mais destacou-se no mérito de prover desinformação à Alemanha nazista: além de ter criado uma rede totalmente fictícia que chegou a ter 28 sub-agentes; desempenhou, juntamente com seu controlador do MI5, Thomas Harris, um papel fundamental na Operação Fortitude, fazendo com que os nazistas acreditassem que o iminente desembarque no continente europeu se daria na região de Pas-de-Calais com um contingente ainda maior do que aquele que foi realmente utilizado no Dia D na Normandia. Sua habilidade em consolidar uma reputação e confiança dos nazistas foi tamanha que, com Overlord já em andamento, convenceu-os de que, apesar da grande escala daquela operação, ela tinha caráter diversionista. A repercussão de sua mensagem fez com que a mesma chegasse ao próprio Hitler que, pessoalmente, ordenou que várias Divisões Panzer e de Infantaria que estavam se deslocando para reforçar a defesa da Normandia desviassem seu curso para Pas-de-Calais.
