概要
Beneath a strawberry bed in Weimar, a tin box holds more than seven hundred pages of handwritten carbon copies sealed in 1944 by a twenty-four-year-old SS secretary - documents that recorded the secret decisions of Fascist Italy and that the world's greatest intelligence services tried for decades to recover. Who was the young woman who buried them, and whose side was she really on?
In this episode, we follow the life and career of Hildegard Beetz, later known as Hilde Purwin, from her birth in 1919 through her work for the Sicherheitsdienst and her role with Galeazzo Ciano, tracing how a secretary became indispensable to intelligence operations and why her buried tin box mattered to postwar debriefs and Cold War files. What did those diaries and the tin box reveal about loyalty, secrecy, and the hidden currents of wartime diplomacy?
