Hello,

One of the highlights of Dutch literture concerning WW2 is based 
around  the pictures taken by a leica. The main person is using the 
leica for spionage photograhpy but after the war he is suspected of 
contraspionage. He tries to prove his innocence by saying he has a 
picture of his secret English contact. This last picture is ruined in 
the darkroom, so he gets convicted.

The book is called "de donkere kamer van Damocles" ( the darkroom of 
Damocles) and is written by one of the greatest contemporary Dutch 
writers: Harry Mulish who is also known because of his great love for 
Leicas.


Greetings,

                              Michiel.
