About this listen

Drawing on unpublished diaries, letters and Gestapo files, Norman Ohler spins an unforgettable tale of love, heroism and sacrifice.

Summertime, 1935. On a lake near Berlin, a young man is out sailing when he glimpses a woman reclining in the prow of a passing boat. Their eyes meet - and one of history's greatest conspiracies is born.

Harro Schulze-Boysen had already shed blood in the fight against Nazism by the time he and Libertas Haas-Heye began their whirlwind romance. She joined the cause, and soon the two lovers were leading a network of antifascists that stretched across Berlin's bohemian underworld. Harro himself infiltrated German intelligence and began funnelling Nazi battle plans to the Allies, including the details of Hitler's surprise attack on the Soviet Union. But nothing could prepare Harro and Libertas for the betrayals they would suffer in this war of secrets - a struggle in which friend could be indistinguishable from foe.

Critic reviews

"The Infiltrators is an astonishing story of the anti-Nazi resistance - a story of love, incredible bravery and self-sacrifice, which could end only in death - and it is brilliantly told." (Antony Beevor)
All stars
Most relevant  
A true, gripping and little-known story which touches on a wealth of important themes, including love and loyalty, the nature of patriotism, courage and creativity and the contemporary perception of both Nazism and Stalin's Russia, this book has very much to instruct and enthral. It should have been an outstanding listen, and with a little more subtlety of writing and a reader who speaks German moderately fluently, it would have been.

In general, Audible and other audiobook producers, it is unfair to ask a reader to perform a book with lots of words in a language which they don't speak. Please make the effort to find a good reader who is also reasonably fluent in the language other than English - that makes a huge difference to the quality of enjoyment for listeners who do speak that other language.
