520    In 1942, John Eppler was one of two German spies inserted 
       behind British lines in Egypt after an epic crossing of 
       the Western Desert organised by the Hungarian explorer 
       Count László Almásy, Operation &
       lsquo;Condor’. But this was far from his first 
       adventure. Of German origin but raised since childhood in 
       a wealthy Egyptian family and a convert to Islam, he had 
       travelled widely in the Middle East for German Military 
       Intelligence. 

The book details German links 
       with Arab nationalists during the War: indeed, one of 
       Eppler’s contacts in Cairo was a young officer 
       called Anwar el-Sadat, later President of Egypt. Before 
       Operation ‘Condor’. Eppler had been the 
       interpreter when the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem met Hitler 
       in Berlin, and the book gives a full description of this 
       controversial encounter.

This story has 
       inspired numerous films, such as Foxhole in Cairo (1960), 
       where John Eppler was played by Adrian Hoven, and more 
       recently Operation ‘Condor’ was referenced in 
       the Oscar-winning The English Patient (1996). This is the 
       genuine, first-hand account of one of the most daring 
       missions of the Second World War. [Elib]
