Behind the locked doors of three mansions in London’s exclusive
Kensington Palace Gardens neighborhood, the British Secret
Service established a highly secret prison in 1940: the London
Cage. Here recalcitrant German prisoners of war were subjected to
“special intelligence treatment.” The stakes were high: the war’s
outcome could hinge on obtaining information German prisoners
were determined to withhold. After the war, high-ranking Nazi war
criminals were housed in the Cage, revamped as an important
center for investigating German war crimes.
