Peter Drinkwater

Peter Drinkwater was a British Intelligence agent. In 1979, he and fellow agent George Smith travelled to Rijeka, Croatia to meet a Serbian partisan who wished to purchase British arms. Traveling in the guise of Italian fishermen, Drinkwater and Smith met a Serb known as Bogdan, in a church late one night. Bogdan was not happy at the prospect of dealing with the West, but his group had been betrayed by the Soviet Union. After closing a deal to sell Bogdan various weapons, a group of Croatian secret police raided the meeting, injuring Bogdan.

In truth, Drinkwater and Smith set Bogdan up as a favor to Croatia's ally Nazi Germany, to secure access to German oil. The Soviet Union had recently been creating trouble in the Middle East, leaving Britain access to oil there uncertain.
