In the Shadows of Casablanca
In 2005, a commission of Polish and British war historians revealed that the contribution of the Polish intelligence operations during the 2nd World War was quite considerable and yet unknown. Specially they discovered the existence of a spy network which operated in North Africa called “Afrika Agency”. Created by the Major Mieczyslaw Slowikowski, code name “Rygor”, this network was largely responsible for the success of the allied landings in North Africa on the 8th November 1942. “CASABLANCA”, the cult film proves to be a fantastic tool to tell the story of Rygor and his network.
