Suspicion
In March 1941, Owens and another double agent, Walter Dicketts (known to MI5 as CELERY), were summoned to Lisbon to meet their Abwehr controllers. Unexpectedly Dicketts was then taken to Hamburg for three weeks of interrogation, having aroused the Germans' suspicion, but survived it. The fact that this had not happened to Owens, and that Owens had not warned Dicketts that it might happen, made MI5 suspect him further, and they assumed from then on that SNOW was helping the Germans actively.
