Yup. There should be a Polish version of 007. The Russians are next door, after all.

Actually there was. Even though it was filmed during Communist times, I enjoyed it.

More than Life at Stake (Stawka wieksza niz zycie) is a Polish television series about a Polish spy deep in the ranks of Abwehr (German military intelligence) during World War II.

If memory serves me correctly the Poles did a clandestine op in Germany where they stole either a prototype or an early Enigma machine to study. Later Polish cryptanalysts\mathematicians at the fall of Poland escaped to France then later to the UK. The heroes of cracking Enigma are three Polish mathematicians not Alan Turing! Turing’s contribution was in the computing machine used and contributed to early Computer Science design & theory. He’s played up by the UK because he’s British and because it’s fashionable to promote him because he’s was homosexual.

Too bad it’s not available for streaming. I’ll have to buy DVDs instead.
