Sub-lieutenant Roy Walter Purdy (middle) served in the Royal Navy on HMS Van Dyck. When the ship was sunk off Navik, Norway, he was taken as a POW.
Purdy bought a copy of Twilight Over England by William Joyce. He was offered two things by the German guards: Joyce to sign his book and if he broadcasted for Germany Calling ten times he would be sent to a neutral country. He gave six talks and then would do news reading.
Purdy also served in the SS-Standarte Kurt Eggers and as a translator for SS propaganda
