double agent. In 1940, at the beginning of World War II, Pohol was determined to contribute "for the betterment of humanity" and fought against Franco's fascist regime.
Therefore, he decided to help the British, because at that time it was the only country in the confrontation with german fascism, and Pohor surrendered to the British many times, but the British had no interest in recruiting him as a spy.

So he decided to make himself a German spy first, and then surrender to the British as a double agent. Pohor forged an identity for himself, presented himself as a fanatical Nazi Spanish government official, and claimed that he could often travel to London on official grounds, making him easily acceptable.
However, the Nazis ignored his true intentions, and Juan Pojol Garcia quickly became a trusted agent and made a sizable income from his intelligence and reports. During this time, he further constructed a fictitious network of downline spies and claimed they came from different parts of the UK.

Since he hadn't actually been to England at all, he made several mistakes, such as his claim that his informant in Glasgow could "do anything for a liter of red wine", when in fact scots were not keen on red wine.
Several of his reports were intercepted by the British side of Bletchley Park, and because of the high authenticity, the British counter-espionage organization MI5 launched a large-scale arrest operation against him, and it was naturally impossible for him to be in The United Kingdom.
In February 1942, he or his wife] attempted to contact Patrick Demorest, a Naval Lieutenant in the U.S. Military Attaché's Office in Portugal, after the United States entered the War, and DeMorist recognized Puyol's counterintelligence potential and recommended it to his British colleagues.
When the British realized that someone had misled their enemy, they accepted him and gave him the code name Garbo, and the information he provided to the Germans was a mixture of fictitious, real but useless military data and valuable but delayed reports.
Poll once received a reply, "That's a red quote, we're sorry they came too late, but your last report was great." "Double agents even misled the Nazis on the issue of Normandy landings, changing the time and place in order to convince the Germans that the attack would take place in Patakale.

Not only was the Nazi fooled, but indirectly funded British strategic service officers, who paid him $340,000 to support his network of agents.
In recognition of Arabelle's "contribution" to Germany during the war, Pohor was awarded the Iron Cross of the Second Class on 29 July 1944, an honor usually awarded only to those who fought on the front lines and signed by Hitler himself.
At the same time, as a "garbo", King George VI of the United Kingdom awarded him the Order of the British Empire. Nazi Germany never realized that they had been fooled by Puyol, making him one of the very few people to be honored in both warring countries in World War II, and perhaps even the only one.
