Zdrajcy w wywiadzie AK. Jak Gestapo rozbiło polską siatkę?

Ludwik Kalkstein, Blanka Kaczorowska, and Eugeniusz Świerczewski gained the trust of the Home Army intelligence service and then exploited its procedures for the Gestapo. They were assigned numbers 97, V-98, and 100 in German files. The film shows how, after Kalkstein's arrest, the former network on the other side was reestablished, why subsequent locations and names fell into the hands of the occupiers, and how General Stefan Rowecki "Grot" was arrested. We do not hide the disagreement among historians: some sources attribute direct betrayal to Świerczewski, while others point to the possibility of accidental identification and broader investigation by the Warsaw Gestapo. It also tells the story of the underground investigation, Świerczewski's sentence, and the postwar fate of the two remaining agents. Kaczorowska and Kalkstein were later used as secret collaborators within the security apparatus of the People's Republic of Poland. The material is based on publications from the Institute of National Remembrance, post-war service documents, Home Army materials, biographies, and scholarly studies. The short opening scenes are reconstructions of locations and activities; we do not present them as authentic recordings, and we do not attribute invented statements to the characters. Is the most dangerous traitor the one who sells a single secret, or the one who ensures the entire organization continues to trust him?
