In Berlin, Sefton Delmer was talking to a man who ten days ago was a prisoner of the Russians. This man, like many other Germans, has spent the first five years of peace behind the Iron Curtain. He brings back with him the first documented story of a terrorist organisation working inside Russia, but not organised by the State.
