Via live television signals, the Garbo Storm swept across Berlin in an instant.
The most shocking thing was the 10 star creators of the "SA3 Sisterhood" who lined up on the podium to welcome the event.
"Leni, congratulations."
"I'm really inspired that you can come." Female director Leni Riefenstahl smiled sincerely.
Just like the "supporting guest" in the concert, as the "mysterious guest", Greta Garbo, known as the "Mona Lisa of the 3th century", brought the atmosphere of the entire conference to a climax as soon as she appeared. Of course, compared to her companions who were immersed in their original plot time and space, Danielle, the leader of the "SA Sisters" who had done enough homework when they arrived, the chief casting assistant War Girl, thought of an article related to Greta Garbo. Secrets of World War II.
"Although it has been almost 100 years, when talking about the famous star Greta Garbo, friends who love movies are still familiar with her. With her beautiful appearance and outstanding acting skills, she made the movies of the silent era colorful. Later, when she made talkies, she also I have already mastered American English, so I am also very successful.
Although she often played the role of a fiery slut on the screen, in real life Garbo had always been a mystery that kept people away. This Swedish girl not only has the tall and fair skin of a typical Nordic beauty in appearance, but also has a cold personality.
As a popular goddess, she never married. In the entertainment industry, she rarely appears in the media, and she doesn't even give face to big shots and peers. The president’s wife made several appointments with her, but she refused them all. Ingrid Bergman, a big star of her time, wanted to chat with her, but after waiting for several hours, she didn’t show up.
She was nominated for an Oscar three times, but never won. Later, the Oscar gave her a higher honor: the Lifetime Achievement Award. As a result, Garbo did not come on the day of the awards.
Later, when World War II broke out, Hollywood stars formed a literary and artistic propaganda team to raise funds for the War Bonds, and sometimes went to the troops to perform condolences. But Garbo refused to participate. This leaves a very bad impression. It was well known that Garbo was very profitable, and she always asked for an increase in remuneration, otherwise she would stop acting. Many people criticized her childhood for this: Children from poor families are afraid of poverty.
Now he is not even willing to participate in anti-fascist performances. The media even wrote an article wondering: Will Garbo join the Nazis? But the truth is that Garbo's anti-Nazi journey went much further than other stars. If the media had known then what she was doing for Sweden in World War II, they would never have questioned: Where was her compassion?
Speaking of which, Nazi leader Hitler was also a big fan of Garbo, and he watched "La Traviata" six times.
Hitler tried his best to arrange appointments with Garbo many times, but Garbo never met. Of course they won't meet, it's too late for her to hate him! Garbo's friend Sam Green said: If the war had not broken out, she would have gone to Germany and she would have hidden a gun in her bag and killed him. Because she was the only one who could see him without being searched ('I'm going to talk him into a truce, or I'm going to kill him. I'm the only person in the world who can see him without being searched').
Garbo played a spy twice during her acting career. In the 1928 film "The Mysterious Lady," Garbo played Tanya Fedorovna, a Russian spy accused of stealing Austrian secrets. Three years later, she played the tragic figure in "Mata Hari." Sexual title character.
However, in the spy circles during World War II, when "Garbo the Spy" was mentioned, the person usually referred to was not the movie star Garbo, but an unshaven man. His name is Joan Pujol García, a famous double agent during World War II, codenamed 'Garbo'. As a Spaniard, he has been wittily mediating between the German and British forces all year round, becoming A legend of a generation. Everyone felt that his name Garbo was worthy of his name, because he was really the best actor in the real world. He stepped on the edge of a knife, talked to everyone, and told ghosts. Even Hitler, who was so suspicious, didn't notice that he was acting.
Garbo's code name protected Joan Puget Garcia and the movie star Garbo, because in fact, the movie star Garbo during World War II also participated in anti-fascist espionage activities. There was a man and a woman, and it was difficult to tell them apart. It's hard to tell who is covering whom.
Why did the Allies focus on Jiabao? This starts with her home country, Sweden. Sweden was a neutral country during World War II. It was neutral and a breeding ground for spies, and the star Garbo's appeal in Sweden was unquestionable.
The affair began in December 1939, when she wrote a check for $12 to the Finnish Relief Fund for children orphaned during the Winter War with Russia. It is said that this is typical of Garbo's style of doing things, because the donations are anonymous. Some people say that at that time, Garbo had already begun to have contact with espionage personnel.
The middleman was the film director Alexander Korda, who recruited many celebrities to work for the anti-fascist war. It was also through his help that Garbo got in touch with the British Secret Service and began her career in MI6. career. Garbo, who is known for being a big star and demanding high pay, reportedly accepted the task without any conditions.
By late 1939, Garbo had become associated with Canadian self-made millionaire and spy master William Stephenson, who helped establish a special coordination office between British intelligence agencies and their American counterparts. Stephenson is another legendary figure in World War II. He was an Air Force pilot during World War I and made a fortune after the war. During World War II, he worked as a spy but did not receive a salary. He built a team of hundreds of people all out of his own pocket.
Stephenson was well-known in the industry for his preference for using entertainment stars to cover up others' eyes. He knew Garbo's importance in the hearts of the Swedes, so he quickly listed her as a very important project for the British and Allied forces.
In January 1940, on a snow-covered winter day, Garbo and Stephenson returned to Sweden by steamer. To outsiders, this is just a normal trip home to visit relatives. And Stephenson also has his own shield: he owns an aircraft factory and film studio in Sweden.
In fact, both men were working as secret agents in Stockholm on orders from the British government. Germany lacked domestic sources of iron ore, and the war limited its ability to purchase iron ore elsewhere. The only option without interference from the Royal Navy was Sweden, so the Nazis relied heavily on exports from the Scandinavian countries for their warplanes. Winston Churchill, who was serving as the First Lord Admiral at this time, determined that if the flow of iron ore from Sweden to Germany was cut off, the German army would suffer heavy losses. Who can be the intermediary in this diplomacy?
As a national icon, she was able to speak to top Swedish administrators, including King Gustaf V, who she introduced to Stephenson. At the same time, she proved helpful in passing on secret messages and, through her circle of friends and acquaintances, was able to gather intelligence about the Swedish government's intentions and the identity of German agents in Stockholm. There is no doubt that Garbo's position in Sweden was of great value to Britain's covert diplomatic efforts to stem or slow the flow of iron ore to Nazi Germany. But Garbo's greater contribution was that she disrupted Hitler's plan to use the atomic bomb. This achievement can be said to have saved all mankind.
At the time, atomic research was in its infancy, but scientists had grasped the bomb's devastating potential, and both Britain and Germany had nascent atomic bomb programs. One of the world's leading physicists and a pioneer in nuclear research was the Danish Niels Bohr (full name: Niels Henrik David Bohr, Danish: Niels Henrik David Bohr) .
Bohr won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1932 for his fundamental contributions to the understanding of atomic structure and quantum physics. He is the leader of the famous Copenhagen School in quantum mechanics and the father of the theory of atomic structure. He is as famous in the circle as Einstein.
In 1939, Hitler ordered the development of an atomic bomb and used threats and intimidation to recruit experts in this field. Of course, Bohr was on their list.
At the time, Bohr was conducting experiments at the Institute of Theoretical Physics in Copenhagen, studying what British intelligence believed to be related to atomic energy. The British were worried lest he fall into German hands, so Stephenson was tasked with escorting Bohr out, by force if necessary, and into British custody.
Nordic anti-fascist intelligence told Garbo to play by ear. Soon, at a meeting between actors and the audience, Garbo invited Bohr and advised him: 'Take human peace and justice as your own responsibility, and do not reveal any secrets about the atomic bomb to the Nazis. Garbo told Bohr that an escape plan had been arranged for him. But at that time Bohr did not want to leave his motherland, so he rejected Garbo.
On April 1940, 4, German troops suddenly invaded Denmark as a prelude to attacking and occupying Norway. This plan was carried out for a long time. The Danes were in a desperate situation. Their small state and equally small army could not withstand the full might of Hitler's armored forces. Within a few hours the country was occupied and Stephenson's plan to escort Bohr to England was effectively dead.
It wasn't until 1943 that Stephenson and Garbo got another chance. At that time, British intelligence learned that Niels Bohr would be arrested by the German police and forced to work on the German atomic bomb project under his former assistant Werner Heisenberg.
Escorted by British agents, Bohr escaped from Denmark in an RAF Mosquito fighter, first into Sweden and then to England. Later, the scientist went to the United States and worked on the Manhattan Project. Although the details of Garbo's involvement are unclear, she is believed to have played an important role in helping Bohr leave Denmark.
Even after Bohr was safely freed from German yoke, Garbo's value to the British was not diminished. She continued to provide intelligence about the Swedish government's intentions and the identity of Nazi agents in Sweden. She continued to serve in this capacity until the end of World War II in 1945.
After the war, Garbo quietly retreated into an insular world far away from the bright lights of Hollywood and the 'cape' excitement of espionage. She never talked about her wartime activities, and when she died in 1990, she took the secrets with her. Even when bits and pieces of evidence of her brief career as a secret agent began to surface, she remained cautious and elusive, even to her family. She goes out for a walk at 10 a.m. every day and returns home in the evening.
Regarding Garbo's heroic anti-fascist history, due to various reasons, it was not until she was in her seventies that she publicly acknowledged and made it public. In the United States, the film "The Fearless", based on Garbo, artistically described this historical fact. In 1979, the British published the book "The Extraordinary Garbo", which for the first time disclosed her family background and the rumors of American spies, causing a huge sensation. But Jiabao remained unmoved and remained in seclusion. While the world still doesn't know the full extent of Greta Garbo's involvement in espionage, there is no doubt that she played an invaluable role in the Allied victory over Hitler's Germany, a role unlike any she played on screen All the same dramatic characters.
She died of illness in New York on April 1990, 4, at the age of 15. After her death, she returned to her native Sweden. 'Please leave me alone' is her classic line and a true portrayal of her life. Maybe we all didn't understand this cold-faced beauty. Underneath the cold face, there is always blood flowing: kindness, justice, and no fear of life and death.
