i always get stranded here all about the final stuff in the global fashion industry. fast fashion. watch now on youtube, the bowl in the capital. it's fine, but fictitious. freehill. we were told to be careful. look around. if we would ever, because we had it all from the cold war to today, many spice stories began and ended here. i'm, i one slush my passport down the train toilet. we never felt like james bond root feelings, spine hot spots past and present till only a small part of the truth. the contract, the city holds even more of the truly told in countless spine movies

the the wisdom and eastern secret service is waged to a clash of titans. info named were closing systems, collided. the front line of the cold for the may for tegan is the cold war, live door to door and building and i'm just following up here i started an intake. and so get this if you need these, when the elders are being used, these ends up soon that's causing because it gets us funds by spies was said to look on every corner in berlin from off to world war 2, until the full of the building will in 1999,

still in the center of the secret services. why the in 1945 world war 2 was over and the city lay in ruins. germany had lost the will, is it stopped at the allies, britain, france, and the us along with russia, had freed the city from not see room the, the pottstown agreement divided totally into 4 sectors. one each for the victors. but hostilities soon followed. the cold war had begun. east spelling was on the soviet rule while the allies government, the remaining 3 sectors. in 1949 to germany square for the federal republic, which would join nato in 1955 and the democratic republic which were joined the warsaw pact the same here. the bench on costco has been researching

berlin and it spies for decades. and his co author was the book capital of spies. and the break comes around to 1947 when it was obvious that the nation so going in different directions. berlin, west, germany, east germany was the beginning of the code forward. and that's a point also where the intelligence collection started to get more intense waste. the land was now in ireland, surrounded by socialist east, germany, east and west and pals crushed the board is but the representatives were allowed to move freely between sect is perfect for spies. the leading was the only city where this situation could be seen. and obviously this geo political situation offered a lot of possibilities for all, for intelligence services. and therefore,

or i would say by then is of the capital of the code for the journey through secret island in search of spies, the dock side of a global c. c. we meet full, i'm a spies with incredible stories. we were told to be careful look around, but there was no special training now to recognize that you were to the gym in t a t thought to spite of filling fixed. i know more important in 1961, the cold war heats up dramatically. east germany built a wall between east and west berlin. that's light is eastern dimension piece. you'll find the item the most. i found it to be kind of less the best possible one, but i'm berlin was split into an east germany or guns to shoot any one trying to

flee friedrich strauss that was one of the few border crossings. it's where americans spawning couple, jeffrey and beatrice ship. it's crossed between west and east berlin to meet with members of the ministry of state security, extremities, intelligent service, as well as the styles, the country secret police, the years they were the country's top spies. the high profile target was the chancellor of the federal republic of germany, the department one a they were specialized in getting information from the chancellor's office. in this concert room. we were shot the we were trained the spines and so we had, we knew we had a lot of work there today, which is fine on the highest political figure in the country, making them some of the most dangerous agents of the postwar period. the former fredericks cross a check point between east and west. berlin was

a place of surveillance and the espionage. the stalls. a monitored who left the country and who met with whom their eyes and ears were almost everywhere. the set at the station, the same from a spice til 2 small american venture and the bundle for the extra association was a hot spot for berlin's bi network. and there was fi gateways in both directions. wanna invited this to the, the strategy was formed in 1950 and conducted for an espionage well monitoring,

east germans as well. it could not dissidence and operate its own prisons align in the us in spite nearly 3000 people were hired for the m s. s. and the 1st 2 years alone in the state on business, and that grew steadily until 1989, one of the one device. the sponsors brutality remains a source of cinematic inspiration to this day. lacking clue, a comedic series. the board is on slapstick. loud enough to own with a slender sandwiches. the lions den, the stones he will head closer, didn't know monstrosity in east berlin. the museum opened to everyone now stands with secret down. so it was once collected thousands of files restored here,

including the reports to ship. it says delivered from the chancellor's office as well as other information from the various sources the my job was to take these reports, which were evaluations and all the shades of grey within the government. i was the one who photographed everything. and then i took the night train, basel berlin jumped on the train when in the toilet. i had to stand on the clo and pulled down the ceiling and put the box in there. and then i went home to ship. it says we'd never expire, is doing there to cause the years. but all the agents would, over and over again on both sides, the, the kleenex, a bridge separates west berlin, unplug stem, then a part of east germany,

the bridge became the symbol of agent exchange. it's not time went to seen in steven spielberg's film shows the cold and ruthlessness of a tough business. open the gate, the rudolph, is there not the possibility that my people are going to shoot me? yeah. you're not worried. would it help the if you need help? okay, that's like the cleaning cut bridge is probably the most exaggerated spy location number landlord. and this keeps on safety stuff that you need help with and with the high month buys, we're only exchange there 3 times in 1960 to 85 and 86 as well. but it was still important in the context of berlin, the because it was used by vehicles for allied military emissions between west berlin and putnam dominy. i'm the lead him is your it also gives

a couple of the tls for once agents to the soviet k g b who also lived in the land and this quote yacht. they were trained in the city. my wife has been buying for 10 years to be assigned to sleep. the agents in the us, [000:00:00;00] the fuel and grants. are you mind kitchen is buying is not generally recognized as an occupation of that. or you can't just apply the, the adventure. the excitement arose from traveling through 5 countries and 14 days it's in power under 3 or 4 different names hutton, but i don't know if you have 15 and um, if i do 15 years with a k g b, i never once held a gun in my hand and i see you smile, you want me to buffet and a 100 and i'm to i once flushed my passport on the train toilet, then grabbed a new one for you to that the noise. and then what? then i had to check into

a hotel and completely forgot my new name. mm hm. and vision um, extend it. i just have it on a hill on the wisdom outskirts. the billing is the appropriately titled teufel sped oh, devils mountain. the americans, most important listening station was here alone in the forest and the hillside was barely in physical. in the distance. the sides is open to pieces. it's aging poorly . it 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 to add some some. yeah,

so you heads up to 1200 people there and free shift a power system. and those people who are listening to the conversations and a flush. and they just listen to it. and this is a boring job, so that is not the life so you would expect as a being as by boring in film, the choice was the style to submit a sense of a highly charged city. we need to know why you're there. does this you for and everybody knew this place was crawling with spies from all over the world. just this was the regular citizens didn't notice anything in their everyday lives. become marie and filled a transit camp in west berlin its way east german rescue cheese. well, 1st registered and housed,

but not always innocently west and secret services. like to see i a, in the bush m, i 6 went to the marie and sold it to the elbow, the all east german citizens who came to west berlin and had to 1st registering marie and failed to and being questioned by the intelligent services from the 3 allied powers was part of the admission process of cardboard. aim was to persuade people that often now they decide to leave east germany. they might, could work for west germany. the, the ship it says lived and spied in west berlin, but travelled regularly to the start as a collective in east berlin. because the apartment was used to relate instructions and give them a place to have lunch and chat homeless. we're not for the of the high profile spies that we've met for 13 years,

always in that of course that we weren't friends, but we worked well together. we became a cheese 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 and they were to live under false identities. on notice on the scene we were of cover vitamins in need with our job was to establish ourselves as us citizens in case of war broke out between the soviet union in the

us government and the embassies close to go to the board, shaft your flows and then we would have been supported the soviet agents network in the u. s. again, and it says they'll be up in your and we'll definitely try to tie it was really low and they had moved. we could only rely on each other and the separation from our family was of course, extremely difficult. until now, tuesday, we left moscow not knowing for how long before the last and most com use me because if you got a secret chip at the west and most pointed berlin on the phone, the east gym and bowed up time seems to have stood still account to a post once used by the nazis allied victor, britain to critize off to world war 2. it's now i'm going to treat aviation museum, [000:00:00;00]

the r l for us here from north. the royal air force was stationed here from 1945 until the early nineties was absence long after the war, every occupying force had their own air field. that's the only kind of how the americans had temple halls, gospel, the british had got to the front, and the french later got to take a human on the blueprint. and the british primarily did military recognizance english, which is commonly known as espionage shotwell, left my land lord frequented him because you will not attend the zip codes. the fun safety like the air field was directly on the border between west berlin and east germany. the uh, but it's not only did the british spy on east germany, but on that out. the air field was also monitored by east german border troops and the scottie, as well as one of the stats,

which i got to almost to send a message. joining back in time, as at the end of casablanca, had been feeling too. it wasn't, that the image is a distinctive, a similar hang afford guy. so if field is particularly intriguing, it's the only hang it that remains closed, the public these are going to have the entire hanger was equipped with down truth booth was down with the state of the art listening equipment of customer. i'll post. oh, certainly the americans and the british always shared how can i put to submit about they were always british air force personnel and the toys, those bug surveillance station in the car and american personnel were also here in

gato told us and pushed buys more especially active the way their response, they're also defective and double agents working both sides jo, which blake was one of the best known bush double agents. he's the key to the story of the mysterious tunnel. the allied museum is in the southern building district of donald need. the former american ministry headquarters spied spreads compared to with the c. i. analyzing sources and the brush planning a surveillance tunnel. the options will not be turned on investment and then the toner come to find out, present position expands not send the, i'm get something copy that was thrown into the given one that wasn't feeling good . spinning on that one that isn't centralised about off the and yet i'm going to the least up to one and miss about on the,

on the best outcome after that will be on the play. so the toner in, i'm in the comments on the desktop zone in the allied museum now exhibits original pumps from the famous tunnel. it takes me tough to reach us by a tunnel that was built in the early fifties and then was in service for 11 months . to tape the telephone conversation on the east german side and the telephone conversation associates, southern mich administration, was doing the tunnel was problematic from the start pre k, g b, u, that the americans and the british were listening to them. and this is because produced a double agent, george blake told the k g b, the americans and british, i'm building this tunnel the can you be had a problem? because if the tunnel would have been found very, very early in time, americans and british valves as

a way of that as low as the science officially found the tunnel 6 months later ending for ration gold. as it was not pictures of the spine tunnel went around the world. and double agent, george blake would like to flee via east berlin to moscow, where he died in 2020. the why do people like, like to the ship is, has become spies? power, money, ideals, east germany as an attempt at a venture society. this experiment in the east was where the experiment after the whole of cost. but no one talks about where the experiment because it didn't work. and so okay, we've accepted that. but we don't forget as jewish people, what happened in this country? here,

we did see an attempt to keep this more cold and not let it escalate to the feeling checkpoint charlie in central but in the legendary crossing between west and east rules, tourists now. but we've been closely guarded by both sides the water. they wanted to make sure that no one from an american or other western allied region entered east germany without registering. when they went in one of the for when they came out, do you have an outline for the house called in the midst of the rice, a famous agent crossed the check point. his political mission was just as important as the sense of entering absolutely hostile territory. the solitude, the agent, the

great, the, the check point. charlie is one of the millions best known landmarks. the 2 world history was written on november. the 9th, when the bullying will fail, and the cold war ears seem to end beyond cutting, crumbled re uniting the city, but not oh, what pleased many spines lost their jobs to political back rooms. they've reason to be. the details were in the us when they learn the rules at full and the k g. b agents decided to return to the most cova and be sure when we were back in moscow, they tried to persuade us to continue. and then because i did what you will have disorder and they said the situation had change so much or that if we were in

berlin, they couldn't help us anymore. this, you know, into the system for you. we were afraid at 1st because the c i a and f b i work, kidnapping people off the street here in berlin, in the early ninety's, putnam. those have been and we thought that something like that happened. nobody would help us or not, was it not as well and with the other spies also afraid off the phone of the will where they punished. you know, jeffrey said, i think we have to be prepared and we were prepared. it was okay for 4 years and then they came on the 4th of may. they rang the doorbell. i wasn't even there. and jeffrey was arrest and our son was withdrew. they put me in the current river course and our neighbor came over to be a witness when the house was search. in the end,

agent shifts was acquitted. the couple ended this find korea's without the criminal record. nobody was killed. we weren't killed either. so we went on with our lives, the, the spine museum opened and central in in 2015. it's nearly 20 years later. it's now a most for spies funds and recounts berlin story as an espionage hotspot. with exhibitions on surveillance and want to typing techniques, people scandals, historical tiles, and reports on current cuz it cases the cold pool is also, but agents continue to operation is been and again, between the front of a new cold war 1st example, an execution system change and go severely, a georgian shop did in the t a got in punk,
