The world was on fire. The future weighed on a knife edge: would dictatorships take power, or do democratic forces succeed in fighting back? In the midst of this global drama, an unexpected place became crucial — Östermalm in Stockholm.

For six months, the Swedish Spy Museum has been digging into classified documents from the National Archives and British National Archives. The result is a unique historical experience based on real events that took place in Stockholm during the war.

You will follow six spies who worked in Stockholm, their lives, risks and choices that silently influenced how World War II unfolded.

During the historic walk through Stockholm, you will hear incredible stories about what happened here during the war, most of which has been classified for a long time. A chance to step into the world of shadows and experience the excitement of Europe's spy hub — Östermalm.

  • Previously classified events of World War II.
