Kitty's Salon: Sex and Espionage in the Third Reich

Kitty's Salon: Sex and Espionage in the Third Reich

An international team of historians has spent several years uncovering what lies behind the myth of "Kitty's Salon" — a center of international espionage established by Nazi leaders based on a mid-range Berlin brothel. Who was the infamous Kitty Schmidt... — and why did her "salon" continue to operate even after the war? What were Heydrich and Schellenberg counting on — and what did they achieve? How did the enclave of "Weimar Berlin" survive in Hitler's Germany — and what metamorphoses did it undergo? What did the sexual everyday life of citizens in the Third Reich look like — and how did sex-obsessed Nazis try to regulate the market for sex-related services?

"Kitty's Salon" is not only an investigation and a gripping reconstruction of one of the striking episodes of European history in the last century, but also a true encyclopedia of plots and facts related to the darker side of the Third Reich.
