         In the early days of his life, Eddie Chapman was a petty criminal that lived in England. He ran away from thearmy, stole, and even formed his own gang. His crimes landed him in jail, where he had little hope of continuing hiscriminal assets. He didn’t stay in jail, however. When the Germans invaded England in the summer of 1940, Chapman,then 25, wrote them a letter stating his intentions to join the Germans as a spy to avoid troubles with the law inEngland.
         After some consideration, the Germans proceeded to break Chapman out of jail, trained him, and sent him on amission to blow up a British airplane factory. But, it seemed that Chapman still had some love for his country. Uponparachuting from a plane en route to completing his mission, Chapman turned himself in to the local police, andmanaged to convince the British that he was still on their side.
         To fool the Germans, the British faked damage to the plane factory, and taught Chapman what to say when hewent back to the Germans to appear successful. And Chapman did manage to appear successful. The Germans lovedthe double-agent so much that they awarded him with a war award, gave him vast sums of money, and even gave himpromotion.
        The British, however, did not love Chapman quite as much. As Chapman was not secretive about his sources ofincome, the British saw him as a liability, and eventually dismissed the spy in 1944. Chapman then returned to hisformer life of crime, assuming that as he now held secrets to the British, he could probably bargain his way out of thearms of the law. The following years were spent avoiding punishment from the British law enforcement.
       Chapman eventually settled down in 1953 after he managed to release his war stories. He got married, had adaughter, and quietly lived the rest of his life as a businessman until his heart gave out in 1997.
