Chapman, a British criminal turned double agent, played a pivotal role in the Allied victory, operating on both sides of the conflict with unparalleled skill and cunning.
A Life of Crime and Intrigue
Born in 1914, Edward Arnold Chapman embarked on a life of crime at an early age. His petty thefts and burglaries landed him in prison, where he honed his skills in deception and manipulation. When war broke out in 1939, Chapman saw an opportunity to redeem himself and escape his criminal past.
Recruitment by British Intelligence
In 1941, Chapman was recruited by the British Secret Intelligence Service (SIS). Recognizing his criminal connections and ability to blend into the underworld, SIS saw in him the potential for a valuable double agent. Chapman was trained in espionage techniques and given the code name "Zigzag."
Operation Overlord and D-Day

He was tasked with infiltrating German-occupied France and providing vital intelligence on Nazi coastal defenses. Posing as a Nazi sympathizer, Chapman established contact with high-ranking German officers and gained access to top-secret information.
His reports on German troop movements, fortifications, and coastal defenses proved invaluable to the Allies. They helped shape the strategy for the D-Day landings and contributed to the success of the invasion. Chapman's contribution to the Allied victory on D-Day cannot be overstated.
Double-Crossing the Germans

He fed false information to the Nazis, misleading them about Allied intentions and causing them to divert resources away from critical areas. By playing both sides against each other, Chapman sowed confusion and doubt within the German ranks.
Escape and Return
In February 1944, Chapman made a daring escape from a German prison camp and returned to England. He continued to provide valuable intelligence to the Allies until the end of the war.
