That evening Witkowski came round . He was very happy that Mankowska had been recruited by German intelligence but he did not hesitate to let her know how this added to his problems . There was an inherent rivalry between the " Muszkieterowie " , with their longstanding direct links to British intelligence and the " Dwójka " , till 1939 the Polish Military Intelligence agency , and since the Fall of France in 1940 represented in significant numbers by political exiles living in London alongside members of the Polish government-in-exile . In London the " Dwójka " struggled jealously for recognition as the only credible Polish anti-Nazi espionage organisation , while Witkowski was convinced that much of the intelligence they picked up through their various connections was less directly sourced and more out of date than information that the " Muszkieterowie " could provide using their own network . Witkowski admitted that Mankowska 's work as a double agent was going to be affected and possibly compromised by the intensifying rivalry between two very differently configured Polish intelligence organisations . " For them , you are an internal enemy , just like me . When is this Alexander fellow going to send you to Great Britain ? " For Witkowski , Klementyna Mankowska 's transfer to England as an agent of German intelligence ( '' " Abwehr " '' ) would provide a welcome opportunity to establish direct contact with General Sikorski , leader of the Polish government-in-exile in London . But before that could happen she needed to undergo her Abwehr training . Witkowski believed she was at considerable peril as long as she remained in Warsaw where at any time someone associated with the " Dwójka " might decide she was collaborating with the Nazis and carry out a death sentence against her . He urged her to conclude her " food poisoning " incident without delay and return to her desk in Berlin . The meeting with Witkowski may well have been a little rushed and it is impossible to know whether Mankowska alerted him to the files she had received containing plans for the forthcoming Holocaust . It seems possible she did not . There were at this time many people , including the leaderships of foreign governments , who were unable or unwilling to believe the scale of the Shoa being planned by the German authorities , however persuasive and complete the evidence may have appeared in retrospect to those who only became aware of the atrocities after many of the mass-murders had already been committed . There is speculation that Mankowska herself may have been among those who found it impossible to take at face value the evidence contained in the files that Dolf von Scheliha had left on her desk at the ministry
