Witold Świętochowski – the profile of the Gdańsk Gestapo agent

Abstract

The article complements the knowledge about the most famous agent of the  Gdańsk Gestapo, Witold Świętochowski. This pre-war collaborator of the Polish military intelligence, who came from a patriotic family in Sopot, is a figure that has been described many times, but so far no one has found his photos. The author, while examining the digital resources of the archives of the  International Center for the Study of Nazi Persecution in Arolsen, reached a  personal questionnaire with a photography. The entries made by Świętochowski allow us to look at his spying activity from his point of view. They
also bring much interesting information and allow us to ask new research  questions about his post-war fate.
