Editing Leo Marks (section)

===Reporting to Brigadier Gubbins===
In his book (pp.&nbsp;222–3), Marks describes the memorandum he wrote detailing his conviction that messages from the Netherlands were being sent either by Germans or by agents who had been turned. He argued that, despite harrowing circumstances, "not a single Dutch agent has been so overwrought that he's made a mistake in his coding...."  Marks had to face Brigadier (later Sir) [[Colin Gubbins]]:

{{blockquote| Described by Tommy [Marks' closest friend] as 'a real Highland toughie, bloody brilliant, should be the next CD', he was short enough to make me feel average, with a moustache which was as clipped as his delivery and eyes which didn't mirror his soul or any other such trivia. The general's eyes reflected the crossed swords on his shoulders, warning all comers not to cross them with him. It was a shock to realize they were focused on me.}}

Gubbins grills Marks. In particular he wants to know who has seen this report, who typed it (Marks did):

{{blockquote| There was a warning gleam in those forbidding eyes. 'What did you tell Colonel Tiltman about the Dutch situation?'<br />
'Nothing, sir, I was instructed not to discuss the country sections.'<br />
'And you always obey your instructions?'<br />
'No, sir. But in this instance I did.'<br />
There was silence as Celt met Jew on the frontier of instinct. We then went our separate ways.}}
