Talk:Archie Christie

What he did during Second World War?

I have book where a colonel Christie is mentioned by Walter Schellenberg, not sure if same person, but if it is, pls confirm in other sources. That he worked in Secret Service during the war. And add relevant information to article here. My source: Walter Schellenberg, Labyrinth (memoirs), Da Capo Press, 2000 (reprint):

"There was a serious divergence of opinion between Berlin and the leaders of the Sudeten German party regarding the much-discussed fact-finding and mediation mission of Lord Runciman. The British Secret Service was quite well informed about this and one of their agents, Colonel Christie who had already conferred several times with Henlein, met him again at the beginning of August 1938, in Zurich. I received a special order from Heydrich to investigate their conversations, and to keep Henlein under close observation. This surveillance was to be carried out in such a way that Henlein should be aware of it—for the chief purpose was to remind him of his promises to Hitler.

When Colonel Christie saw how completely the Sudeten leader had given way to Hitler's demands, he was astonished. At their meeting Henlein declared that to wait any longer would be impossible, both for the Sudeten German party and for Hitler, and if necessary the problem would have to be solved by force."

The Sunningdale property (aka Styles)

"At the beginning of 1926, Christie and Agatha jointly bought a large house in Sunningdale they called "Styles"" But the deeds for the property only had one name as the buyer, it was only Agatha Christie. So the page should be edited to highlight this. 27.32.11.6 (talk) 12:56, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
