This title presents the story of the most successful German spy of World War II, the Albanian Elyesa Bazna - an untrained opportunist. Working as a valet to the British ambassador to Turkey in Ankara he photographed 'Top Secret' material on critically important policy and military issues, which he sold for vast sums to the Germans. However he never got to enjoy his ill-gotten gains, for the British banknotes he demanded came from 'Operation Bernhard', the counterfeiting project set up by the SD, the Nazi foreign espionage department.
