12:41 am
hopped up on a hill and the wisdom outskirts of building is the appropriately titled, teufel, sped o devil's mountain. the americans, most important listening station was here alone in the forest and the hillside was barely visible in the distance. the sides is open to visiting its aging pooley that is still well secured. the deal is quite a month despite making intercept radio signals here from far into poland. and then that's why the stars the end, the k g b took it very seriously. i'm no more than they were repeatedly able to install their own spies, their thoughts. i can, if you want from somebody else. so you heads up to 1200 people there in the free shift,
12:42 am
a power system. and those people who are listening to the conversations and a flush rates. and they just listen to it. and this is a boring job, so that is not a life, so you would expect to be is by boring in film. the $24.00 is the style to submit the center of a hyundai charge city. we need to know why here this does this here for and everybody knew this place was crawling with spies from all over the world because this was the a, you know, but regular citizens didn't notice anything in their everyday lives. become marie and showed a chance of camp in west berlin. it's where east german rescue cheese, well 1st registered and housed, but not always innocently. wisdom secret services like to see i a, in the bush, m,

12:44 am
but we worked well together. we became a team and developing our legend. so if we would ever, because we had it all clear, they gave me virtually fry on to the side, what information would be useful. and then i develop projects for my sources and sent them to get that. we got information about discussions within the government and especially differences whenever it covered and has the policies are always differences of opinion. and that was important to know while the ship it says with active agents, the tools had to wait in the us. they were to live under false identities. on notice on the scene, we were out of cover vitamins in need was our job was to establish ourselves as us citizens in case of war broke out between the soviet union and the us government. and the embassies close to go to when the board trapped your flows and then we
