The article details how a spy stole the secrets of the 1943 Soviet Union, Iran and Egypt conferences from the safe of British Ambassador Sir Hughe Knatchbull-Hugessen. The spy offered Ludwig Moyzisch of the German intelligence service photographs of secret documents in the British embassy for £500,000 each.
