In 1964 as part of Operation Neptune the Czech intelligence apparatus publicly claimed to have discovered Nazi-era intelligence files hidden beneath the surface of Černé jezero lake. The claim was false.
The supposed find was alleged to reveal the names of a large number of spies controlled by the Nazis in Eastern Europe. Fearing that portions of their intelligence network might be compromised, the West Germans were forced to cease working with agents they “inherited” from the Nazi regime.
