НАЙДЕННЫЕ СВЯЗНЫЕ. Как майор вышел на весь Абвер через сгоревшую машину

Gomel Region, July 1944. SMERSH Major Andrei Basov is on a routine inspection: a burned-out German staff car has been found on a dirt road between the villages of Uza and Pribor. There are dozens of such wrecks on the roads of liberated Belarus. Usually, they're passed by. But this time, a sapper hands the major a small, melted metal box found under a charred seat. And from that moment begins one of the most sensitive counterintelligence operations of the summer of 1944. Who drove the German car behind Soviet lines after the front had retreated west? Why was it burned from the inside, carefully and meticulously, away from major roads? What was inside—so important that it had to be gotten rid of at any cost? And most importantly—who was this man in a Soviet officer's uniform, walking alone along a dirt road at night with a ceremonial leather briefcase? A story about SMERSH's work in the frontline zone before Operation Bagration. About the substitution of a career Red Army officer for a German intelligence officer. About a German resident, known before the war as the local quartermaster. About a radio game that lasted eight months and through which the German command received carefully prepared disinformation about Soviet plans until April 1945. And about a photo lab technician, a former Minsk partisan, who spent twelve days restoring almost completely burned film—and found something on it that changed the course of an entire operation. Counterintelligence. Interrogations. Surveillance. Agent development. A blind game in which the lives of hundreds of people are at stake. #SMERSH #counterintelligence #NKVD #Abwehr #secret services #intelligence #radiogame DISCLAIMER ⚠️ This story is a fictional reconstruction. The names of the characters, specific details of the operations, dialogues, dates, and geographic locations are fictitious. Any resemblance to real people, names, ranks, and circumstances is purely coincidental. However, this reconstruction is based on the studied principles and methods of the Soviet military counterintelligence agency SMERSH ("Death to Spies") from 1943 to 1945. The methods of undercover development, surveillance, filtering of soldiers returning from captivity, radio games, and countering the German Abwehr intelligence agency described in the video reflect the actual practices of those years.
