Original subtitles

In the spring of 1939, a man named

Adam Mickler comes to Brussels via Helsinki and

Copenhagen and applies for a

license for an export company. In

reality, the man's name is Leopold

Rapper. He comes from Moscow and is

commissioned to install a new Soviet spy network in Western Europe.

This network is primarily intended

The Flemish coast of England,

Northern France and

the Nazi Germany, which is preparing for war, is observed. The

gray boss, as treffer

is called by his employees,

initially wins over his old comrades from

the illegal time in Palestine for

this plan: the wealthy businessman

Leo Gros Vogel and many Katz der

treffer in particular They are devoted to

founding a company together and gaining

new employees: the diamond dealer

Isidor Springer, his girlfriend Rita

Arnold and the Polish communist in

Sofia Poznan SKA.

Later they are joined by the Soviet

secret service officers Viktor Zubkow and

Michael Makarov, who are trapped in Montevideo

in Belgium. Makarov

the Code name Carlos Alamo

is sent to Ostend and

takes over a branch of Gross Vogel's

company while Viktor Zubkow, who

knows the agent name himself,

initially studies business administration at the University of Brussels

at the beginning of the

war, gets to know the attractive

Czech millionaire widow Margarete

Basa and leads her From now on, the

life of a highly valued member

of Brussels society, after the invasion of

the German troops into Belgium in May

1940, all the senior agents of

his network gathered in Brussels and

set up a radio center 1 on the rue de la Bath,

which immediately

established contact with Moscow He himself

leaves Brussels and moves to Paris.

From now on he calls himself

founded in Paris. Together with

his friends Leo Gros Vogel and Elend

Katz, he is the managing director of the import export company Cemex, which

mainly works with the German Wehrmacht

and the Todt organization

Alfred Aubert, who is

not informed by treffer and

who lives in the constant fear of being

arrested as a bootlegger,

does not allow himself to become trepper.

He recruits new agents,

informants and people all over France. One of his most

successful employees in Paris is

the charming Russian emigrant Baron

Vassili Maximovitsch Behind which no one

suspects a Russian spy

Maximovitsch is also the hit that gives the

first indication of

Hitler's impending attack on the Soviet Union

on June 21, 1941. Hitters travels to Vichy

to warn Stalin about Hitler's plans with the help of the Soviet embassy

but the military attaché the embassy of

general oslo train station doesn't believe him

the next morning the germans attack

the soviet union the hour of

probation for the leopold

rapper's agents has come

[music]

from the director to otto and knows the

hitler fascists have crossed

political boundaries in numerous places

and

Cities and villages are bombed without any pretext.

From now on, consider yourself to be fighting soldiers

of the Red Army and are not afraid of taking any risks

to expose the criminal plans of the Nazi leadership

With the outbreak of war against the

Soviet Union,

the network of the Grand Chef begins

to develop its full activity.

The center is radio silence at

101 rue de la Bath in Brussels

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

since June 22, 1941 and the

entry into force of the Radio traffic plan

sits like this Lieutenant Michael Makarov

alias Carlos Alamo warrior stays on his radio

night after night

from midnight to 5 a.m. during the Spanish civil war

and sends most messages to

Moscow.

The last big thing covers

all of Belgium and France in the summer and autumn of 1941.

The agents of the business, his

informants and V people sit everywhere

at the railway post office in the

factories at the authorities in Vichy on

the construction sites on the Atlantic was even

in the highest command posts of the

Wehrmacht here in Paris remain the apparatus

I connect

within the command area of ​​the

German occupying power Civil

authorities and the economy there is hardly

any significant process that

concerns the agents of the grunge band and it is

not immediately forwarded to Brussels and from there

to the headquarters in Moscow

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

Is that your bag? Yes, I am I missed you

a package of salt and a later mom flew

please

[Music]

here Paris yes I continue to connect

whoever has ever used a new tactical one

and mounted it on a truck

through the times in front of the position

of off and immediately disappears

the activity of the agent network

not only extends to the civil

and military authorities, it

also doesn't stop at the doors of the Brussels and

Parisian salons. It is

particularly beneficial that his

girlfriend Margaret was seen in her

elegance and Rösler apartment

every week with aplomb to

which mainly German officers and

officials are invited

[music]

I absolutely have to attend the talks do

you know where I can reach him I

really don't know what you are talking about

[music]

[music]

the reports from Braun boss are already

ready immediately

is what I have enough for today I

absolutely have to go from completely impossible

common ground boss of 15 do

n't have to talk to reception anymore don't

try it

here my hands are completely stiff and

cramped do you know what that means when I

sit at the mouse button for hours without a break I'm in pain do it

Somehow I just can't

reap any more, don't give me a lecture, call the

central

democrats in Moscow and easily

understand the work for five hours every day with

a child replacing what we have sown

You're

glad that you're here, I know the

front-line operation just as well as you do. Not

only did you take part in the Spanish civil war,

I know you're a hero.

I also have news from the business. Why do they put the station in Paris?

do give the reports

every five hours radio without

interruption introductory week after the

other shopkeeper you ca

n't do that in Germany in that time

even my grandmother managed to

target us pure suicide is this for the

last time give the reports

this is a command folder buy

what answered no more the central office

has already switched off

I had to speak urgently I do

n't have time now but it's very

important how it no longer makes sense

when you finally understand it it's

not the issue at all

[Music]

Why didn't you go to bed

I can't sleep when he's not at

home the chat

the figure is big after 5

every night the same thing

on the black market again the

best deals are done between midnight

and five in the morning

Vincent

tells me what's behind it but

darling, how often should I not

avoid it? I

can only tell you over and over again

and I swear to you it's

not another woman, but then what is it?

Why are you excluding me? I

love you. You have to

understand that always just for moments

why can't I share everything with you

your worries

your work my work isn't that interesting

why collaborated with the Germans do

n't you feel how much I suffer from it

not everyone who works with the Germans

is necessarily a collaborator then

just a black dealer a

war profiteer a gun dealer

possible

let's just leave your hometown

upwards or somewhere to

South America in any case via

Portugal you can leave

later perhaps but at the moment at the

moment it's impossible

I've invested too much here if I

'm in business I

ruined but I still have money I'll

give you everything I own my

whole existence depends on sometimes

people here in Brussels

here and now

[laughter]

[music]

[laughter]

[music]

have you gone crazy, what do

you want here

I have afraid I absolutely have to

speak but not here how do

you know that I'm like it's really

very urgent wait at 3 maurer

[music]

but if I tell you she had

reddish hair a dark blue coat

she had all with fur trimmings she

therefore about the street and made

a scene for him I saw it very clearly

between the two musicians and

what I like you immediately why do

n't you want to understand me

why sentimentality can't be

allowed if you have weak nerves

why did you become an agent

after I died I know, I know, that's

no reason to talk to me on the street.

You know exactly that it's

forbidden. I

really have the impression that someone is

telling me today.

Can you describe that to me? That's what

someone looks like They're

afraid, they're hysterical, that

's it. I can only advise them to

finally get together otherwise I'll report them to the

central office. They know that that means

I'm not a spy. I do

n't want to. They should have thought about that earlier.

here with us so belting stayed five

hours every night in ostend citizens

so in their area they never have any

comments about what is suspicious the

slightest rohrs lautern the last

english agents two another good one

exposed for three years I mean how

we managed our office and

we also served exactly four people

who used to be happy with the

Polish and Czech areas

stood

at the area what until now I have him

completely Becker we beat each other for a long time to

talk

about Director knows broadcasting time as

before 12 a.m. to 5 p.m. Changes not

possible, no

response, wanders, I had everything

checked that

could have anything to do with the communists, and

all radio experts, all electricians, the

result was negative, you see, I knew

what was coming on the trolley that I had

previously arrived at Some of the Funke

surveillance now believe that the

transmitter works here somewhere, he works in

Brussels in Brussels

but I have no idea why I was

transferred to counterintelligence,

I have never run the tank hunter before

and in my civilian job

I am a public prosecutor, well maybe he has

someone thought public prosecutor that's

something like a criminalist I'm but

nobody knew what was going on and I would like to

ask you to let me be replaced now do

n't get stuck straight away Mr Dipl

the situation actually looks very bleak at the moment there are

around 350 transmitters working at the moment In the

areas we occupy, most of them

directly behind the Eastern Front, many of them

have only a small

range and a relatively short

broadcast duration. In this network, the

transmitter in Brussels plays a special role.

It works with a large capacity and is

in operation for at least five hours every night

12 o'clock at night until 5 a.m.

This obviously has a

lot and very important information to tell a client.

In addition, he is stationed in the middle of a

big city, which

suggests that we have

direct contact with the center of a

large espionage organization. We

have to take action against this station first

So that's a miracle auction here, it's

probably more of

a disadvantage that their place

worked, the moments on

fishermen, hold on to lutz,

they earn little because antenna to test

the boar turns the antenna

until he has the enemy transmitter exactly in his sights, so to speak,

the same thing makes our established

[music]

I have had our permanent radio station set up here

in the book in the tent,

we have the best conditions here,

partly more on man who curiously

radio station set up as ordered, in

principle the matter is very simple

captain I lay the protractor to

the location of our fixed radio at the

point here and right exactly

to the north, take the thread and

pull according to the specified values,

we say 80 degrees here at the moment

and in this direction we have to move the

agent transmitter assuming our moving

radio sidecar is at the moment Let

's assume here in the forest of Tervuren

he crashed in the same way his

stated number of degrees is

say 110

and here at the intersection point we have to

assume the agent transmitter

[music]

the cyclamen tulip please come

[music]

understood last value 58.5 degrees end

[music]

[music]

[music]

[music]

can I help you no

thank you, I'll get by,

usually you have a lot to talk about

after such a big trip, are

n't you

the big one?

Or maybe you don't want to tell me about it,

please then I'll ask you how

it was in Prague,

as always, you're successful,

yes,

I'm happy for you and

nothing else,

you're happy with the lady. I

had to start again with a

pathological jealousy. How often

should I tell you, oh well You

were recently seen on the street

with a woman with reddish hair

here in Brussels, he saw me,

a friend, the name has nothing to do with the

matter, nothing but gossip, not

slander, she was waiting for you

in front of the house, she ran after her

across the street And she made a

scene,

that's the truth.

Finally, she's doing me a favor and

spying on more. I've got

enough to talk about. Yes, I know, I know

his business.

After all, you're making a good living from it.

If my business doesn't work,

we can get together I can't afford a twelve-room apartment.

Yes, I think I'm also doing

my part. If you don't

want to stay competitive, you have to

travel around. Maintain contacts.

Make new friends. Make friends in Berlin

If you work with someone in Germany, you

have to understand that,

darling,

I'm going crazy just

thinking about you with someone else

Rudi came back fed up and

probably knows something like a

crime scene visit.

Yesterday he signaled his arrival from

Marseille. We will take Ms.

Wasser to Bermuda over the demarcation line the day after tomorrow.

From there she will

get to Marseille without any problems.

Hopefully she hasn't

made a single mistake I

would also inevitably have ended up in a concentration camp.

Let's say we're going to do this now without

radios and

carry on without the radio and how he gets in touch.

I'm afraid it'll take a long time. I

know, but something in this judge is

forgiven as if you're actually too late. Do

you believe that Allah is closed?

I hope it lasts

[Music]

[Music]

I've been waiting for news from you for two months.

The party can

only contact you from the secret service

on orders The headquarters and this

order came just the day before yesterday, more than

60 lost days

and the messages are piling up and we

can't stop them.

Our transmitter in Brussels has been taken down.

We absolutely have to contact Moscow with

radios, but he thinks he's committing

suicide, five hours of radio traffic every

night, that's it It's also pure madness,

you have to get through it, the headquarters

in Moscow, the director gave

orders for five hours, I just want

orders.

You can't let me down now

if we don't get a connection to

Moscow soon. Our agents are risking

their lives for nothing At risk then there

remains information that is of

utmost importance for the Soviet army.

We will inform the director in Moscow.

Director

from director to

the material from Toto and knows is

of utmost importance for the headquarters.

From now on it will be forwarded to us via the party line

Pierre The transmitter

is fully available to Otto and until further notice.

Otto is also instructed

to reactivate the radio station in Brussels.

Please look for Polo. He can be

reached at Felix three.

Bordeaux will immediately take over the entire

Belgian language as a pianist will be assigned to the professor.

Contact the professor via

Agnes Chance 32

expect their report in two days the

work continues

in March 1942 the Belgian network of

the red band resumes its activities. The

most important man is the 40-year-old

radio operator Johann Wenzel, who is

only known in secret service circles under the

code name Professor

[Music]

Wenzel An experienced radio specialist

from the Soviet secret service has

learned from the mistakes of his predecessors. He

no longer sends the radio messages from Bordeaux from one place but

changes his location every day. In doing so,

he puts the pillars of radio defense into

great difficulties and diverts them onto

ever new routes
