Secret Berlin spy network exposed in aristocratic quarters
A narrative recounts Olga von Marx’s rise as a spy and the elaborate Krausse system in Berlin. It details how secret houses of vice recruited officials and diplomats to harvest intelligence, the 1914 expansion, and the German espionage apparatus led by Rumpila and von Puttkamer, plus cases of agents like Lison and Ulimo, with broader notes on German female agents across Europe.
