Features: In the 20th century, Germany launched two challenges for world hegemony. The ambitions of the Germanic nation inspired many brave souls to dedicate themselves to espionage. The intensity of the espionage war was no less than the fierce battles of the front lines. During the Cold War, Germany, situated at the crossroads of East and West, staged a series of bloody legends.
Reinhard Gehlen: Don't you think that treason and betrayal determined the outcome of World War II?
Edwin Sietz: I believe there is a more important factor. You know, we have been reading the encrypted communications of your command headquarters since the beginning. The plotters were blamed for many things they did not do. We used the plotters to cover up "super-secret."
Reinhard Gehlen: If that's the case, then we have no hope of winning.
—Dialogue between Reinhard Gehlen, Head of the German Eastern Front, and Allied General Edwin Sietz
