*12/349 London 12th November 1963
Records reveal that the trio – James Wolstencroft, Robert Calvert and Dietmar Sternberg – met in a Ladbrook Grove public house. At this meeting, they outlined their plans to subvert traditional values through inciting young men and women to form, what can only be considered to be, guerilla sects. Our informant, Nicholas Lezard, a Cambridge man, infiltrated the group posing as a disillusioned mathematician. Lezard reports that the trio discussed interconnecting enigma machines, bought wholesale from American troops returning from occupied Germany. These machines, Lezard reports, were adapted so as to “talk” through, as it where, the ether.
