Actually, he was a triple agent (UK, Yugoslavia and Germany), hence the codename "Tricycle"
Indeed, when the title "The Double-Cross System" popped up on the screen I thought "I've seen that before". The book written by J.C.Masterman was published by Folio and I have a copy. Popov is not mentioned in the index but when I examined the pictures there was Popov with his code name Tricycle.
@@mayflowerlash11 Wikipedia lore. The answer is more likely Fitzroy MacLean, or several other British commando types. "Tricycle" was first and foremost not British which is a central component of Bond's identity. Bond also has a Scottish family background.
I thought it was kind of a dick joke. Along the lines of "he's got a third leg" but that makes sense.
@@MockinGlobes I thought he was called Tricycle because he loved 3-in a bed sex !!
And 007 was first three number from phone number in apartment from Belgrade, Yugoslavia, he was from
Arran’s accent and delivery is a true listening pleasure. I am so glad no one trained it out of him. His unique sound adds so much to the content he presents.
Never change Thoughty 2!
Jebsen was a man...that man didn't give anyone up. He knew he and he alone was caught, and he alone would remain caught. Jebsen died with honor, integrity, and dignity. May he never be forgotten
Can well imagine the kind of torture he went through to if stories are even remotely close to true about the Gestapo
Funny how these "gangsters" out here flop over on they're friends and family just to avoid some jail time. Yet this dude was a real deal gangster. Went under torcher and death by Nazis without flipping on a single person.
@@joeypersinger6352 your comparing Apple's and bananas, two different species. One has very little morals or integrity.
Did you get the video?
@@louiscolborn6715 yea but they aren't tho. Cuz gang members specifically talk about never snitching and things like that, but then they actually do it. Then you have guys like this who take "on pain of death" literally. Joey is spot on
this was a beautifully told story, when your art is as high quality as possible THAT is always what will draw the best audience and reactions
Storytelling at it's finest. Thank you Mr. 2
Whether or not Fleming really consciously based Bond upon Popov, the connection seems inescapable. I had never heard of him before, so this was a fascinating video. Thank you for yet another quality production.
I'm a fan of the bond films. And a fan of thoughty2. I love your videos and all the knowledge facts and history my brain can feast on. And I also find them fun to watch and make it even more interesting !!! Thankyou sir !!!
Gatcha player 🤮
Yes, Dusko Popov was huge and could easily be James Bond prototype. His memoir, "Spy/counterspy: The Autobiography of Dusko Popov" Is highly recommended. Thanks for a great video, as always.
Hey. Thanks for sharing that. I never knew he had an autobiography. I'll read that for sure.
Bond is British. Something you Wikipedia readers never factor in. There are actually several better candidates with a British background who fit just as well.
@@thursoberwick1948 Bond is fictional and is inspired by real people who may, or may not, be british
@@65MaX73 Bond is a British character. That isn't up for debate.
He has a Swiss mother, and a Scottish father, so is not really English, but he works for the British crown and the British class system and a touch of jingoism are very much in there.
@@thursoberwick1948 yes but did they meet Ian? Are there scenes from their life that are mirrored in Bonds life the way Popov did. Youre just one of those haters who have a problem with Serbs
Great video and very well written, down to the last line...brilliant M8.
I learned a lot and had fun doing it, this channel rocks!!
Today, I say goodbye to my cat of 17 years, Mister Bond Popo. RIP my sweet kitty.
cute
Coming from Serbia I knew already about this. I think this was one of the rare moments when I was knowing all along everything what he said. Every Serbian knows that Popov was inspiration for 007.
Dying at age 69... what a legend.
that was his plan all along
Can never go a day without that, "Heyyy, Thoughty2 here."
I just finished listening to Ian Flemings mammoth and gorgeously narrated audio biography called ‘Goldeneye’ (named after his house in Jamaica) on UA-cam ….Now to watch this wonderful gem has been simply bonkers!!….Thoughty, Sir you never fail to amaze and delight me ….THANK YOU👌❤️!!
Always brightens my day to see your videos pop up!
Same man! Got me through some rough times this guy! Hope he knows the effect he has 👏🏼
Don't you mean *_pop off_* ?
Popov. Dušan Popov.
The name's popov. Dusan popov
Brilliant, and fantastic! As a long time Ian Fleming fan of Bond I found this tale fascinating, Great Job my good man.
It is fascinating.....but James Bond was based on Christopher Lee (yes, THAT Christopher Lee) He was Fleming's cousin and his time as a Nazi hunter was the inspiration for the character.
looks like i'll keep winning the 'who can come up with the most useless fact' contest at parties
Lol welcome to the club 😂
Same here 😆
Its always a good day when Aran uploads.
Every time I hear the flute and jazz, Ron burgundy is on a table playing the flute in my mind.
love the video they brighten my day up every time I see a new one
They should make a film about this guy, and in true James Bond style the name of the film would be: "Popov, Dusko Popov" or "A Double Scotch With The Double-Cross".
The KEW archives are rich in material about Dusko Popov and his associates. Highly recommend a visit with him there.
I'd have to admire most above all his legendary feats & faucets of his spy life-- the fact he kept his spy extracurriculars a complete secret & told no one for the better part of 32 years, 27 of those years post WWII. I would find it so hard, probably impossible to not have at least 1 confidant to whom I could share all the extraordinary happenings of my double life as a stealthy super secret sneaky sly spy.
But what about Porfirio Rubirosa? Ian Fleming specifically mentioned him as a direct inspiration
The comment i was looking for
@@adrianadelacruz1393 no luv for latinos🤦♂
💯
I just realized that I've been watching Thoughty2 at least since 2018, and never commented. Probably since I've never really had a google account. I don't expect him, or anybody, to acknowledge this except for me. This is my first, and maybe last comment, because these videos are so damn mezmorizing.
Those "delicious custard tart thingies" are called "pastéis de nata", Aaron. And they're waaaay better than custard tarts 😂

Great. Now I have to find some place that sells them.
PORTUGAL CARALHOOOOO
@@acaribouintheattic8345 do you know what caralho means?
@@samuelharris2334 no, i'm just commenting random words in a language i dont even know
*Sarcasm*
All these years later and business as usual, Great videos, bravo!
Ian Fleming admitted that, though the character of Bond was an amalgamation of different people, the main inspiration was his cousin, Christopher Lee.
Wouldnt wonder if the “high rank people” told him to say that
@@Perun1 So you know nothing about the illustrious life of Sir Christopher Lee. Would you like to learn?
@@Perun1 u're deranged or american
"For England James?"
"No, for me."
I would love to see a video on how Sweden was used as basically a playground for spies in WWII, since they were neutral
Neutral? Hmmm…
What an absolutely amazing story. Wow
I love the subtle nod with the Bond song lyrics. Hopefully the people responsible for ignoring information and allowing Pearl Harbor and 9/11 to happen are or will be rotting in hell.
4:45 really cool, I was at a scientific conference in that building in the background! It belongs to the University of Freiburg, obviously...
“HEY 42 HERE” I love it.
I learn more from your vids than I do from school, keep up the great content man!
yeah but sorry man , nothing much u can do with useless info
Stop sleeping in class. 😄
@@soundscape26 wish i said that!
When golden eye came out on n64 it took over for awhile everywhere you went everyone was playing it, I still play it now and then it'll always be one of my favorite games
Percival Wrigley was a military intelligence agent and friend of Ian Flemming, he shared a lot of similar traits as James Bond. He was sent to different parts of the world, spoke multiple languages and was very clever in difficult situations. Yet it seems he was left out. I wonder if something happened between them. Percival spent time as a Japanese pow at Changi, along with my great grandad and many others, but not sure if they ever met, due to the size of the place.
🌻 perhaps they wanted a better world, too. Loving ❤ people tend to come together. Perhaps this was part of what needed to be shown to underscore the protags messages. The iiinteresting thing is- how much did the director of the saga actually consider?
Popov : *moves to Croatia
Croatians today : " so that means he's Croatian"
the transition on how thoughty2 discuss from james bond to hairloss is absolutely superb. it makes me wanna try keeps right now
It's a standard ad he ads every single time he gets the ad for a vid tbh ._.
@@Flaschenteufel mans gotta make money somehow ig
I so much appreciate this guy's talent as a story teller
I so much like him
He warned us about Pearl Harbor three months before it happened, that's why our carriers were not in port. He took the pictures of Pearl for the Japanese
I don’t need to watch the whole video to like it. You earned my respect years ago. But great video as always 42
That was fun. Thank you!
The original 007, the man who signed many reports and other correspondence to Queen Elizabeth I, was John Dee. The 00 represents her nickname for him, her obsequious eyes, and the 7 is the numerological value of his name.
That is extremely interesting I love to look more into that. Do you have any reading material any other sources? I have a degree in history history world history I just can't get enough of it! But there was a time. And college and I have to wear all I did was research John Dee... I mean a guy was wondering if not the smartest man in the world of time. He was an astrologer, A numerologist, and alchemist (one of the last)... He also told Queen Elizabeth I to not to worry when the Spanish Armada was coming to destroy Britain during the inquisitions... He whipped up the storm and half of the Spanish amount of his lost and there were no longer a threat and that's exactly what happened in real life. John Dee one of the most underestimated people in history very interesting man.
You don't fool me I know you're the real James Bond.
Very smart, yes this is video is only a distraction from that fact!
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !"
Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ."
Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!"
Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window ? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..."
Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!"
Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky."
Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction."
Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"
😊😅😂❤
@@lorraineharris4186 YOU WANT ROOM 16 FOR HIM ?
Thoughty2 needs to do a compilation of all the ads his done😂
What a great guy!!…
Thanks Thoughty2! ..❤
3:45 There was no Yugoslavia in 1912, the area was part of Austria-Hungary
This is possibly my favorite episode of TT. What a life!
Flemming's photo looks like the 60's Batman villain the penguin.
Think he was also the inspiration for several episodes of Archer
Keeps is your sponsor I'm glad that you are a story teller and not a selling me a product I can enjoy the story
I read his book years ago and it is.....glamourized however, it is a great read and I recommend it highly!
Heroes like these men really give me a sense of life
This video is absolutely amazing! Keep up the good work!
Another big inspiration for Bond is Sidney Reilly, a man with a life certainly interesting enough to make a video about.
Thoughty2, Dušan is Pronounced as "Dh-oo-sh-ah-n" and Duško as "Dh-oo-sh-k(as in King)-oh"!
Sounds like the best James Bond of them all. 🙃😁
I always thought that Ian Fleming was the real James Bond
I will admit, I have never seen a bond film, but the Julian Bashir secret agent from DS9 made me consider it
Oh sh*t my US history teacher in like junior year randomly said to the class “ D-Day was supposed to be a party, but somebody got stabbed in the back “ and I never like understood what that meant because like I never really tried to research it and it was just like a throwaway comment that he said well half the class was having a completely different conversation so now I think I know
The best line.. "and had a bloody good time doing it" 👍
I had no idea my beloved Sir Christopher Lee was inspiration for Bond. Thanks to all who commented on that. Makes sense, what a human being he was, his life was to say the least interesting. What can you say for a man who did heavy metal at the age of 95 and his voice put to shame people 1/5 of his years.
Poor Popov.
That was a really cool shot to end the video
But Fleming has admitted that Christoffer Lee's days as a spy are what inspired him to create the ultimate super-spy, James Bond. Lee was also his step cousin. And that much of bond is based off Lee´s life.
For those in the know, cmdr Bond preference was for whiskey or scotch single malt.
Vodka martini only 15 compared to 19 gin martini.
Well done ... The finish was exceptional my dude
What's going on brother, from Florida
Tom Hardy should totally play that guy. how he hasn't yet been cast for the role is beyond me...
i feel like the nickname tricycle is probably in reference to his 3rd leg.
Talking of hair, my god, you can grow a mildly ok beard mate! Looks better than the moustache. I am British, I can't help it! 😂😂😂
A Very Good Video 👌🏻👍🏻
This man’s life was absolutely incredible, and quite interesting. Yet according to the Dos Equis beer Co., he is Not the MOST Interesting Man in the World…still, a damn good story! And I do think he should be celebrated. He took risk upon risks and somehow came out clean. And appropriately lived to age 69. Couldn’t have done better myself! Hats off to Papov!!!
I randomly walked past one of his London homes when I visited the other week. ( Fleming)
It's widely considered that the life of Sir Christopher Lee (who was a relative of Fleming) had more than a little input to the character of Bond.
This made me think that the ex Yugoslav federation and its now separated republics, may be some of the most underrated places on Earth.
15:58 he said the funny number! noice!
eddie Chapman's life as another real life James Bond was featured in a 1965 film "triple crossing" , a pity they never crossed ....
Can you do a lesson on Audie Murphy? He was my great uncle.
Yes! My grandfather fought in the Pacific theater... He won many metals and when he came home.. my dad said he was different but he sure did love Audie Murphy! Is he really a great uncle? I love to hear stories about him my dad would always tell me who is the highest decorated soldier in ww 2 ? And he said Audie Murphy the movie star!
i love this! plus my favourite bond movie is for your eyes only.
"003", I love Brit's dry humor.
I can't say I'd turn down an all-expenses paid trip to see a reenactment of a particular tea party to see an English comedian though!
Bond is just a legend . Great video Thoughty2 .
love how you casually put out that the american government knew about pearl harbor all along but needed it to happen so they could get into the war
Lots of people thought so, though its a surprise if not a stretch Popov was involved
I was told that by my old college professor... Whom happened to be USA military intelligence, during and after WW2.. to be honest with you this man was not joking and he was told me what happened and how the new was going to happen... So crazy that even Hitler, didn't know when it was going to happen, of if? The 1980s new wave great band called "The clash" the lead singer writer wrote that song " London Calling" is about that that the ward already been raging on for what a year and a half in Britain was losing and needed help. But Americans didn't want to get involved and up until then Hitler and Germany had a good relationship with America... Well, if it is true which I believe it is makes me very very angry! On quick side note FDR was a socialist, and kissed Stalin's ass . Puke!
Lol the 'nobody did it better' line was so good.
My vote for Bond is still William Fairbairn. Flemming would of met him at Camp X, in Ontario Canada before Fairbairn went to OSS and eventual CIA.
Granted, Fairbairn didn't do any field work so far as I know.
He did put together the first, what we would now be called a police SWAT team. He pioneered the shooting houses like the folks at 22nd SAS and First Special Forces Operational Detachment Delta, (sorry, but the full name is just so much cooler. Hats off to Charging Charlie) still use.
On a side note, it was in a demonstration of the shooting house where the Iron Ladies body guard dove under the table prompting her to say, "Get up George, that's embarising!).
For a man named tricycle, It was a quite a ride that’s smooth af😂😂
I think my dad was some sort of secret agent, he had multiple names and passports and was very secretive around my mom
Cool, you have any stories?
@@dionysius1b870 well I only have what my mom is telling me, whether it’s the truth or not, since I was barely 1 when he left
Unruly council meeting best video ever
Ian Flemming was inspired by Sydney Reilley.
I respect you for making a video about my grandfather.
Arron, please! Could you cover the story of Blanche Monnie? I much respect Sir.
T-2 ... You have toned down the click-baity-ness in the past couple months' videos. Please continue to do so, I really love your humor, subject matter, and wit. Please do not keep playing into the 'ten things next to you that can kill you, tonight at ten' or 'one thing stopping you from getting superpowers' strategy. Please ...

1, Meet the real life james bond
One of my ancestors from the 1800s was actually named James Bond which I think is kinda cool
15:56 Niceeee
Jebsen: Yo dude let's be nazi spies
Popov: totally bro imma be a completely loyal guy who doesn't realize nazis suck and I will never be a double agent
Amazing video, Popov sounds like a real chap
Thanks!
