High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Salon Kitty was a Berlin brothel used by the SD for espionage purposes before and during World War II. In the 1930s Berlin, Salon Kitty was a high-class brothel in 11 Giesebrechtstrasse. Its usual clientele included German dignitaries and foreign diplomats. Its owner and madame was Kitty Schmidt. The idea to use Salon Kitty for espionage purposes came from Reinhard Heydrich, but SD chief Walter Schellenberg did most of the work. Instead of infiltrating the brothel, Schellenberg decided to take it over. Kitty Schmidt had been sending money to British banks with fleeing refugees ever since the Nazis took over. When she eventually decided to leave the country on June 28, 1939, SD agents arrested her at the Dutch border and took her to Gestapo HQ. There Schellenberg made her an offer she could not refuse - either she'd cooperate or she'd be sent to a concentration camp.
