A small correction: in an interview before his death Ian Fleming said that he it was Duško, and years after Popov said I have never said it was me, but Fleming confirmed it by mentioning his code name (Tricycle) and with that Popov indirectly admitted it as well.

[@Ganaraa5]

[@keelyleilani1326]

From all studies the true inspiration for Bond was a British intelligence agent in WW2. Popov was somewhat similar to Bond, but Bond is quintessentially English and that's what truly makes Bond Bond.

[@MistaHexHash]

@@keelyleilani1326 Duško was a British intelligence agent working for both MI5 and MI6 simultaneously. Fleming himself confirmed that he had to take away from his character to make Bond more believable - Duško spoke 5-6 languages, highly educated, was from a rich family, bold, confident and a ladies man. Duško wasn't Bond, Bond was Duško. 😉

[@donreed]

"Arranging meetings... required codes. Dusko Popov, a Yugoslav [and Abwehr spy in Portugal] telephoned his German spymaster... when he wanted to meet him... Popov's spymaster got in touch with him by having a girl call... and say, 'I'm sorry I behaved so stupidly last night'... the spymaster's blonde secretary [then] ... met Popov at the Estoril casino. " 'She would go to a roulette table... and would play three times, the numbers indicating consecutively the date, hour and minute of our rendezvous. Then she would play either 0 or 36. Zero meant the pickup was to take place in Lisbon, 36 meant Estoril at prearranged locations. It was an expensive code" (Hitler's Spies, Kahn, p. 289). She never won? Popov sure as hell didn't get an OBE spying for the Germans. It very odd that Kahn didn't know about the following, since Popov's autobiography (reliable or not) came out in 1974, four years before Hitler's Spies was published: "Dušan 'Duško' Popov OBE ... (10 July 1912 - 10 August 1981) was a Serbian triple agent who served [the] M16 and Abwehr during WWII [passing] disinformation to Germany as part of the Double-Cross System... also [an] agent [of] the Yugoslav government-in-exile in London... which assigned him the codename Duško... codenamed Tricycle by the British MI5 because he was the head of a group of three double agents. "In 1940, [he] infiltrated the Abwehr... [D]eceptions in which he participated included Operation Fortitude, which sought to convince German military planners that the Allied invasion of Europe would take place in Calais, not Normandy, thereby diverting hundreds of thousands of German troops and increasing the likelihood that Operation Overlord would succeed. "In 1974, he published an autobiography titled Spy/Counterspy... Popov is considered one of Ian Fleming's primary inspirations for the character of James Bond." (Wikipedia Popov profile 07/14/20).

man we need to get a biopic, of dusko popov story i think played by tom hardy cause they look similar or daniel craig himself, yes 007, but also when craig grew older in the bond films, he kind of looks like dusko popov a little, i mean craig always had that russian look to him, so that is kind of crazy, and a coincidence, i wouls say popov has brosnan similar jaw structure, but looks more daniel craig older, but older dusko popov should have been played by roy schnider they look alike, so that is kind of crazy, to see that we get a casino royale movie with daniel craig that looks similar to dusko popov, cambell stated he look like putin, so that is kind of cool, but im not a fan on craig looks, i think he gets less handsome as the series, went on, he looked great in the audition, casino and quantum, not so much later, on, i think its a coincidence they look alike, but biopic with tom hardy would be great. also would like to read his book, being a big fan of cold war stuff, world war buff, but to expensive to buy on ebay, so maybe i will find it in a thrift shop or have to check my local library. its funny to think ian fleming played vesper lynd role in the real story in a way. i wish i can hear what conversations they had, also wouldnt this real casino location be the casino in the movie casino royale it would have been amazing. but we get it in majesties, i guess it didnt have a movie look, they were going for.

I wonder what Ian Fleming or John le Carré would have thought of the latest Ipcress File TV series. They allegedly occasionally met up with Len Deighton but alas their meetings ended in arguments about who was best equipped to write the most realistic books. It's a shame all three focused on fiction. Fiction, fiction, fiction ... why are so many spy novels thus? Factual novels enable the reader to research more about what’s in the novel in press cuttings, history books etc and such research can be as rewarding and compelling as reading an enthralling novel. Furthermore, if even just marginally autobiographical, the author has the opportunity to convey the protagonist’s genuine hopes and fears as opposed to hypothetical stuff any author can dream up about say what it feels like to avoid capture. A good example of a "real" raw noir espionage thriller is the first novel in The Burlington Files series. Its protagonist, Bill Fairclough aka Edward Burlington, was of course a real as opposed to a celluloid spy and has even been likened to a "posh and sophisticated Harry Palmer". Apparently Bill Fairclough once contacted John le Carré in 2014 to do a collaboration. John le Carré replied "Why should I? I've got by so far without collaboration so why bother now?" A realistic response from a famous expert in fiction!

I can solidly reveal my father's connection to espionage, highlighting his role as the primary model for Ian Fleming's James Bond character. I have conducted extensive historical research, explaining that Bond was influenced by my father's experiences and Christine Granville (Maria Krystyna Skarbek), who served as a model for Vesper Lynd. I am explaining to the world that Ian Fleming whilst he used real-life events and characters for Bond, including an assassination task carried out by his father for Christine. He did not model Bond from Popov, at all. Nor is there ever proof from Ian of this. I show the side-by-side comparisons and historical evidence to support these claims and in my book written in 2017 to reveal this story. Called ‘To Live Well is to Hide Well’.

Mistakes: Dusko Popov came from an afluent family from Belgrade. He grew up in the upper-class of Kingdom of Yugoslavia. When war started, and Yugoslavia got invaded by Nazi Germany in 1941, he made a plan of how to use his German connections to become their agent, but ultimatelly he had full simpathy towards Serbia and Yugoslavia and its king-in-exile in London and made a plan of how to help Allies by playing as double-agent. His nickname "tricycle" comes from the fact that he was a triple agent, YUGOSLAV, German and British. Hoover didn´t wanted to receve him not because he didn´t trusted him, but because he already KNEW the information Popov was bringing, which was about the imminent atack on Pearl Harbour, and since Allied plan was to let the attack happened, thus involve USA, he didn´t wanted to have testemonies of how he was informed of it before and didn´t take any preventive actions. Worste mistake of all, Popov motivations were liberation of his home country, never monney, which he had plenty since child. This last sentence from Tiago is so absurd.

[@piotrjannek1754]

Well the real story has just been released: As the fictitious character of 'James Bond' was derived for a couple of men that Ian Fleming worked with during his Military days. 2 years before Dusan Popov even goes to MI6 in London, MI6 / MIR Section 'D' (the real James Bond dept. if you do your homework) wanted to create Agents in Poland in very late 1938 to early 1939. MI6 and MIR were so impressed by Poland's own James Bond who was Bronislaw Urbanski, a tall, apparently handsome man, 6'2" tall powerfully built man. This man actually saved the lives of many British Intelligence and MI6 when they were on a Political mission in Poland to broker a deal with Stalin as they knew about 'Fall Weiss'. But they were caught as the 1st of Sept 1939 Hitler's Wehrmacht invades Poland. Then trying to continue with the mission they learn on the 17th of September that Stalin now sides with Hitler and they are trapped. Bronislaw also a Captain of K.O.P. platoon, protects and helps the entire British team including the unkillable General Adrian Carton De Wiart to escape to Romania then to England. Bronislaw's deals with MI6 and the Polish II bureau and others, his girlfriend is also (and she was still married) Krystyna Skarbek. Aka British SOE Christine Granville (born Polish). Ian later dated Christine whos father when she was born nicknamed her (english trans) 'Vesper'. Meaning 'the first evening star' and Prayer. Ian knew this. I would suggest that the new book released called 'To Live Well is to Hide Well' is read, as it is the true life story of the 'action model' man used for Ian Fleming. As this man also worked with his older brother 'Robert Peter Fleming' of MIR / MI6 Section 'D' as it changes its name over the years. Ian Fleming also gets involved with him during mid 1942. The part Dusan becomes a model for Fleming is the flamboyant character, he was a wimp otherwise. perhaps visit the site tolivewellistohidewell (dot) com you will be given photographs / videos and a complete story that was withheld from the world for nearly 80 years. I have read it and wow.

Just like how you say that Stalin was a Soviet ruler (not a Georgian), that Tito was a Yugoslav (not Croatian/Slovene) or how you say that Le Corbusier was Swiss (not French/Italian/German), Obama is American (not Kenyan) etc.

@@HarBosSar Well, according to the clip he spied for the the Germans, the Brits and maybe the Americans, not for Yugoslavia. And even if he did spy for 'Yugoslavia' it would have again been for Serbia because 'Occupied Serbia' was on the Allies' side, the rest were either annexed or Nazis themselves.

@@apetrovic91 Check your history lesson again, occupied Serbia or oficially 'Territory of the Military Commander in Serbia' was a PUPPET state and under German control aka. The Axis. They weren't on the Allies side, the Partisans & Tito in Bosnia were.

Not true. The Bond character was not based on Popov. I expect better from the BBC. Popov's story is plenty interesting without the lie.
