Inside Agent A12’s Mission: Cracking the Enigma Code

Dr. Jason Bell, Ph.D., is a Professor of Philosophy at the University of New Brunswick, Canada. He has served as a Fulbright Professor in Germany, at the University of Göttingen (the alma mater of Winthrop Bell), and has taught at universities in Belgium, the United States, and Canada. Notably, Jason Bell was the first scholar granted exclusive access to Winthrop Bell’s classified espionage papers. He is also the writer and best-selling author of “Cracking the Nazi Code: The Untold Story of Agent A12 and the Solving of the Nazi Code.”

In this informative and educational interview, Jason Bell, who is unrelated to Winthrop Bell, discusses how he discovered Winthrop Bell’s information while researching the relationship between American pragmatism and German phenomenology. He elaborates on the restrictions surrounding Winthrop Bell’s papers and the permissions needed to lift these restrictions from Mount Allison University and Britain’s Foreign Office. Jason Bell is the first scholar to have received such permissions.

The book results from 16 years of research, detailing how Winthrop Bell became a successful MI6 spy and a true Renaissance man. Jason Bell explains how Winthrop Bell exposed the Nazis and their plans before the term “Nazi” even existed. The discussion includes Winthrop Bell’s actions during WWI and WWII, which helped prevent Hitler’s extermination of Jews and other minorities worldwide.

The book is incredibly fascinating and rich in history. We also touched on Winston Churchill, and Betsy shared a personal story about my grandparents fleeing Europe during WWI. Jason Bell emphasized the importance of post-war employment to prevent people from joining extremist groups and the necessity of taking threats against minorities seriously.

Betsy believes this book should be in high school and college libraries. I highly recommend reading this riveting book! Please visit his website for further information about the book and Jason Bell’s speaking engagements. Betsy described this as an incredibly fascinating book rich in history.
