Preparations are being made for the shooting of a German spy by the name of Richard Jarczyk, born in Poland. In March 1945 he ended up in the Rhineland region, occupied by American Forces, and began to work in the newly created administration. His frequent departures aroused suspicion. As it turned out, he was collecting information about the activity of the American Army, in order to pass it on to one of the Werewolf groups. - He was arrested, tried by Military Court and executed in the town of Kitzingen, in the German state of Bavaria.
