ListenedThis episode explores the life and legacy of Svend Troelsen, a Danish intelligence officer whose significant contributions during WWII were long overlooked. Through the lens of the biography 'Krigens mørkeste time', we trace his journey from his early military development to his pivotal role in establishing an independent, Allied-aligned intelligence network in Denmark between 1943 and 1944. The narrative details Troelsen's strategic use of civilian covers to gather vital information on German U-boat technology and troop movements. It also examines the intense political tensions he faced, including friction with the Danish resistance and the psychological trauma of wartime operations, ultimately reflecting on the moral complexities of living under the 'sovereignty fiction' of the German occupation.
