The sterility of much espionage was nicely illustrated by FrantiĊĦek Moravec of Czech intelligence. One day in 1936 he proudly presented his commanding officer with a report on a new piece of German military equipment, for which he had paid an informant handsomely. The general skimmed it, then said, "I will show you something better." He tossed across his desk a copy of the magazine Die Wehrmacht, pointed out an article on the same weapon, and said dryly, "The subscription is only twenty crowns."
