Roman Czerniawski was born on 6 February 1910. When the war started  Roman Czerniawski was hired as a captain in the Polish Air Force. He was ordered to leave Warsaw for Romania. He was assigned as an intelligence officer with the 1st Polish Division of Grenadiers. After having been offered safety by the Germans, he was sent to England as an agent. However, he made himself known to the British authorities. He was de-briefed by the British (MI6) and Polish authorities about the security lapses of his organization in France. He was then employed as a double agent by MI5 using the codename "Brutus" (after Caesar's friend and assassin) under their Double Cross System. His strong anti-Russian attitude, manifested in the denouncing of a Polish officer who attended an official reception at the Soviet Embassy through pamphleting, led to doubts about his suitability. For this act of mutiny against the Polish authorities he was arrested and imprisioned. MI5 produced a cover story that his had been detained in a sweep of "anti-Bolshevik" Poles

We are all a little guilty of watching these Espionage television series. How well do producers capture the day to day life of CIA, FBI, or NSA agent? Producers sometimes work with government agents to produce a eye catching t.v shows filled with action, drama, romance, and revenge. Producers make a perfect balance of fact and maybe a little fiction when making a television series.

Products used to make the ink included Food like honey, milk, sugar solutions, and clear colas were also developed by heat, and could be used by civilians. Even soapy water worked.
