The story of the Abwehr in WWII and Admiral Canaris, the enigmatic man who commanded it until his arrest and execution in the final months of the war. It was the Abwehr which supplied Hitler and his generals with the information which they used in planning the subjugation of Europe - whilst the organisation itself was headed by a man who at some point in his career (although when is open to question) became an anti-Nazi and worked to achieve a Nazi defeat.
