"His conduct was so circumspect that the rueful Czechs concluded that, unlike Ujszaszy, he had never been trained by the Hungarian intelligence service" Sick burn on the Hungarians there

Still, they had hundreds of agents. Czech must have had as many in Germany and Hungary.

Many Germans living in Denmark joined the resistance after the invasion. After the war they were rounded up and handed over to Germany, which executed them immediately: they had betrayed their Fatherland.

Tripped over the CSR acronym in the second paragraph ("Austria was weak, Poland cool toward the CSR, and Hungary antagonistic.") From the context, must be Czecho-Slovak Republic. Wiki agrees https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czechoslovakia

The correct abbreviation in Czech and Slovak, as shown on that page, is ČSR; however it does seem that CSR was used in English.

That was a great read. Thanks for sharing.

Thoroughly fascinating, is there more like this? I really like these 'short stories' with this level of detail.

Why does certain branches of hn commenters always seem like pedophiles? This post and all the answers reads like an ingrained pedophile league. You should change your writing patterns it's all so suspectable. Just a friendly non pedophile tip. Sick trucks.
