The story

After an MI6 agent carrying a roll of film containing flyover photographs of the East German town of Kalkstadt is found dead and the film goes missing, MI6 conclude he was killed by the Stasi to cover up the presence of a new rocket system based on the V-2. The rocket was previously spotted in vague, on-the-ground photos, and if real, its existence would be a violation of international agreements. A source entices MI6 with another set of photographs that conclusively confirm the rocket's existence, and only after receiving payment does he reveal that the photographs are being held in Kalkstadt itself by his father.
