The legendary Soviet mini-Series «Shield and Sword» tells the story of Russian intelligence officer Alexander Belov, who served in Germany under the name Johann Weiss for five years. The story begins in Latvia, where a Soviet intelligence agent is sent on the eve of World War II. Posing as a native German, he ingratiates himself with the respected Schwarzkopf family. At first, he works part-time as a driver at an automobile repair shop, and then, thanks to his friendship with Heinrich Schwarzkopf, he is sent to Germany. There, again thanks to his connections, he manages to secure a cushy position as a driver in a special Abwehr garage. Position by position, in small steps, Johann makes his way into the highest ranks of the Reich. A year before the end of the war, he succeeds in firmly establishing himself in the enemy’s lair: he has risen to the rank of Oberleutnant. After his appointment, Weiss is sent to Berlin to serve in the SS, where he gains access to top-secret data.
