​The sky over Saxony

Coming from a sheltered home, Walther Hultsch studied law in Leipzig and Munich and found a job with the police after the First World War. Here he was head of the department for art and culture in Saxony, where he met many well-known artists. He remained friends with many of them for a long time. He later became head of the counter-espionage unit in Saxony. In 1933, he was transferred to the Secret State Police (Gestapo), where he was deputy to the president. He was personally removed from the police force by Heinrich Himmler - Reichsführer SS and Chief of police - in 1934 and transferred to the district headquarters. As a military intelligence officer at the High Command of the Wehrmacht, Walther shared a duty room with Prince Ernst Heinrich of Saxony at the beginning of the Second World War. He is later sent on a counter-intelligence mission that takes him across Europe. During this time, he came to the attention of the American secret service, whose documents described Walther as a "very capable man", among other things. Through his acquaintance with the Saxon royal family, he had been in contact with the resistance since 1934. In the Abwehr, he had close contact with the people who carried out the assassination attempt on Hitler on July 20, 1944 - Major General Oster, General Fellgiebel, Carl Friedrich Goerdeler and others.

It is the moving story of a quiet resistance fighter who survived two world wars.
