Juan Pujol García (1912 – 1988)  
Pujol was sent at age seven to the Valldemia boarding school, run by the Marist
Brothers in Mataró, twenty miles from Barcelona; he remained there for the next four
years. He was a Spanish citizen who deliberately became a double agent against Nazi
Germany during World War II. He relocated to England to carry out fictional spying
activities for the Nazis, and was known by the British codename Garbo and the
German codename Arabel. Pujol had the distinction of receiving decorations from
both sides during World War II, gaining both an Iron Cross from Germany and an
MBE (Member of the Order of the British Empire) from Britain.
