Beschreibung
WWII historical fiction, laced with true events.
Berlin 1939 - 1943 From the smoking ruins of a bombed Berlin brothel, three shocked and injured female survivors are taken to a secluded training facility by Nazi officer, Gruppenführer Walter Schellenberg. They're not there for official business but for medical treatment. Trained by the SS officer in all aspects of espionage, the women are desperate to survive. They turn the tables on their armed captors and kill them. After covering their tracks, the women return to ply the only trade they know... with an added twist. Somehow these 'sisters in arms' escape the attention of the Nazis, despite the high rank of their victims, and their lucrative business thrives. They haven't escaped everyone's notice though. British Intelligence were monitoring Schellenberg's operations for some time, and their attention has zeroed in on the three women. They dispatch one of their top male agents to make contact...
True Event
During the second world war, the Nazis decided to re-open a brothel and use the prostitutes as spies, ordered to seduce secrets out of foreigners and catch out disloyal Germans.
The brothel started in 1939, known as Salon Kitty, owned by Katharine Zammit aka Kitty Schimdt.
Walter Schellenberg, a Nazi intelligence officer working for the Sicherheit'sdienst (SD), and Reinhard Heydrich gave Kitty an ultimatum: you and your girls work for us, or you're going to the concentration camps. So, Kitty was ordered to take on 20 extra girls produced by the Nazis, place listening devices in all areas and allocate a listening room in her establishment.
Once all this was agreed, Schellenberg and other SS officers started arresting prostitutes from all over Berlin. They sorted them into the most beautiful ones to train and recruit for the brothel.
The file sent out by Schellenberg to Nazi administration officers stated that they were looking for beautiful, intelligent, multilingual young females who were man crazy.
They were trained by the Nazis to recognise high ranking military uniforms, high-ranking Nazi party officials and foreign diplomats, whom they would then relax with, ply them with alcohol, sleep with them, and extract as much information out of them as possible.
