Thümmel, Paul (?–1945),Dresden-based high ranking member of the
Abwehr who, from March 1937, supplied Czechoslovakia with reliable information about Germany's intentions and order of battle. He continued to do so via the Czech underground when the Czech government-in-exile was established in the UK. Code-named A-54, Thümmel's intelligence was passed to both
MI6 and the USSR and helped maintain the credibility of
Edvard Beneš, the exiled Czech leader.
Thümmel was a highly decorated Nazi Party veteran and so many protests followed his arrest in October 1941 that the
Gestapo released him. Rearrested the following March, he was imprisoned without trial and murdered by his
SS guards a few days before the war ended.
The motives for his treachery remain a mystery. He received payments, but not enough to compensate for the dangers to which he exposed himself, and the information he passed was too valuable for him to have been a
double agent. See also
spies.
