Salon Kitty was a high-class Berlin brothel used by the Nazi intelligence service, the Sicherheitsdienst (SD), for espionage purposes during World War II.
Created in the early 1930s by Katharina "Kitty" Schmidt, the salon was taken over by Nazi secret service and SS general Reinhard Heydrich, and operated by his subordinate Walter Schellenberg in 1939. The brothel was overtly managed by original owner Kitty Schmidt throughout its existence. The plan was to seduce top German dignitaries and foreign visitors, as well as diplomats, with alcohol and women so they would disclose secrets or express their honest opinions on Nazi-related topics and individuals. Guests included Heydrich himself, Joseph Dietrich, Galeazzo Ciano and Joseph Goebbels, among others. The salon had to relocate due to air raid in 1942 but eventually as the war progressed, the project lost its importance due to the decreased number of clientele.
Salon Kitty has been the inspiration or subject of brothels featured in films involving Nazi espionage.
