After the war, the spy sued Western Germany because Nazi Germany paid him in counterfeit money.
Elyesa Bazna, better known by his codename Cicero, was a World War II
spy for Nazi Germany while serving as the valet to British Ambassador to
Neutral Turkey Sir Hughe Montgomery Knatchbull-Hugessen.
Bazna was born in Pristina, Ottoman Empire (now Kosovo), in 1904 and
died in Munich, West Germany, on December 21, 1970.
He took pictures of classified materials in the embassy safe and gave
them to the German ambassador in Ankara at the time, Franz von Papen, a
former German chancellor.
Cicero was compensated handsomely by the Hitler administration with
counterfeit British currency.
Nazi leaders in Berlin were claimed to have rejected Cicero's
information (part of which dealt with planning for the Allied assault of
Normandy on D-Day, June 6, 1944), despite the films' obvious veracity.
