east berlin was under soviet rule while the allies governed, the remaining 3 sectors. in 1949 to germany's were formed the federal republic, which would join nato in 1955 and the democratic republic, which would join the warsaw pact the same. dea ah ban from cosca has been researching berlin and its spies for decades. and his co author of the book, capital of spies at the break comes around to 1947 when it was obvious that the nations are going in different directions for berlin, west germany, east germany was the beginning of the cold war. and that's a point also where intelligence collection started to get more intense. west berlin was now an island surrounded by socialist east germany. eastern and western pals clashed at the borders. but the representative,

we're allowed to move freely between sectors. perfect for spies. berlin was the only city where this situation could be seen and obviously of this geo political situation offered a lot of possibilities for all 4 intelligences. and therefore, i would say berlin is of the catalog, the cold war a journey through secret. berlin in search of spies, the dark side of a global city. we meet former spies with incredible stories. we were told to be careful look around. but there was no special training plow to recognize that you were observed. with thoughts him in tea at the duchess bottle, a fair lean mixed i pneumonia and poor in 1961. the cold war hates up dramatically

. east germany builds a wall between east and west berlin as light ending as if the dimension. if he got biden's, i've known almost i found it soothing gun and leslie, buck, boston, one behind, looked. berlin was split into an east germany ordered gods to shoot any one trying to flee. frederick strauser was one of the few border crossings. it's where american spy couple, jeffrey and beatrice shabbots crossed between west and east berlin to meet with members of the ministry of state security east, germany's intelligence service, as well as the starcy, the country secret police. for years they were the country's top spies. they high profile target was the chancellor of the federal republic of germany, the department one day. they were specialized in getting information from the chancellor's office hibler in this concert. we were shocked. we were trained as

spawns. and so we had, we knew we had a lot of work ahead they were to spy on the highest political figure in the country, making them some of the most dangerous agents of the post war period. the form of frederick stross, a checkpoint between east and west. berlin was a place of surveillance and espionage. the stars monitored who left the country and who met with whom their eyes and ears were almost everywhere. with those set at the station, this scene from a spy film feels more american than german. ah, gabanos good extra station was

a hot spot for berlin spine networking. there were spy gateways in both directions . warner in by the little the stars he was formed in 1950 and conducted foreign espionage, while monitoring east germans as well. it kidnapped dissidence and operated its own prisons. a line, in essence, by nearly 3000 people were hired for the m s. s. and the 1st 2 years alone, august 3rd, on the 5th. and that grew steadily until 1989 of the honda boys. the stars his brutality remains a source of cinematic inspiration to this day. lacking cleo, a comedic series that borders on slapstick allow this to over to flood and what is the welcome

ah the lions den. the stars you were headquartered in gnomon and strauser in east berlin, a museum open to every one. now stands with secret data was once collected, thousands of files were stored here, including the reports, the shabbots, as delivered from the chancellor's office, as well as other information from their various sources. ah, my job was to take these reports which were evaluations and all the shades of grey within a 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 pull down the ceiling and put the box in there. and then i went home. the ship it

says, would never expose during their active covert years, but other agents were over and over again on both sides. ah, the galena could bridge separates west berlin and potsdam than a part of east germany. the bridge became the symbol of agent exchanges. a night time winter scene in steven spielberg's film shows the cold and ruthlessness of a tough business. open the gate. ah rudolf, is there not the possibility that my people are going to shoot me? if they're not word, would it help you clean it up? well, good life. the clinical bridge is probably the most exaggerated spy location in berlin,

because this is often unique up look into that. i. my spies were only exchanged there 3 times in 1962, 85 and 86 as a unit up. but it was del, important in the context of berlin buena, because it was used by vehicles for allied military missions between west berlin and potsdam, the aliyah need him, his urine printed off again a couple of shot. oh, the tails were once agents for the soviet k g b, who also lived in berlin. in this court yacht. they were trained in the city. they waited in vain for 10 years to be assigned to sleep at agents in the us. ah, the owners of your mind, kitchen spying is not generally recognized as an occupation of or can we can't just apply the the adventure. the excitement arose from traveling through 5 countries

and 14 days under 3 or 4 different names. hutton toyota, josefina lum. fighting 15 years with the k g b, i never once held a gun in my hand and i had to use my younger buffet in a hand and i'm to i once flushed my passport down the train toilet, then grabbed a new one experience without the noise when was it, then i had to check into a hotel and completely forgot my new name isn't a vision now mixed in yet. exit. ha ha! on a hill on the western outskirts of berlin is the appropriately titled, teufel sped, or devil's mountain. the americans, most important listening station was here alone in the forest, on the hill side with berlin visible in the distance. the site is open to visitors . it's aging poorly, but is still well secured. ah, what y'all is going to want this fight, they could intercept re of signals here from far into poland technology including

then that that's why the stars the end, the k g p took it very seriously asking them what they were repeatedly able to install their own spies their daughter i'm if you want something from you you heads up to 1200 people there in the 3 shift 8 hour system. and those people were listening to the conversations and of washer back to space. and they just listen to it. and this is a boring job, so that is not a alive for you would expect as the being asked by boring in film. the teufel spur, gestalt is the nerve center of a highly charged city, a, c, i, a, we need healing. there later. no one can know why you're there. does this year for everybody knew this place was crawling with spies from all over the

world, just to scuse a year, but regular citizens didn't notice anything in their everyday lives. mm hm. mm. the marine fell to transit camp in west berlin. it's way east german refugees were 1st registered and housed, but not always, innocently. western secret services like the c i, a, in the british m, i 6 wacked the marine felt a to allah, the, the elbow, all east german citizens who came to west berlin, had to 1st register and marian felder in the mood and being questioned by the intelligence services from the 3 allied powers was part of the admission process before the aim was to persuades people that after now they decide to leaf east germany, they might, could work for west germany. the shepherd says lived expired in west berlin,

but travelled regularly to their stars. he collective in east berlin. a covert apartment was used to rely instructions and give them a place to have lunch and chat harmless were not for the other high profile spies there. we met for 13 years, always in that apartment. we weren't friends, but we worked well together. we became a team and developing our legend. so if we would ever be caught, we had it all clear. they gave me virtually friar hon to decide what information would be useful. and then i devote projects for my sources and sent them to get that. we got information about discussions within the government and especially differences. whenever a government has a policy, there always differences of opinion and that was important to know. while the shabbots, as were active agents, the tales had to wait in the us,

they were to live under false identities, unnoticed. unseen. when we're off, gov of i was in, it was, our job was to establish ourselves as us citizens in case war broke out between the soviet union and the u. s. written, and the embassies close to voter. wouldn't be bought, draft new frozen been should we would have been supported. the soviet agent network in the us are good and it says over at noon, but after i bought a time and it was really lonely, i know we could only rely on each other. and the separation from our family was of course, extremely difficult. i would um, from often until on a tuesday we left moscow not knowing for how long. yeah. if wouldn't awesome. muskogee wilson could, if he got a secret tip at the westernmost point of berlin, on the former east german border time seems to have stood still at gato airport

once used by the nazis allied victor, britain took it over after world war 2. it's now a military aviation museum. the oil air force by here for north of the royal air force was stationed here from 945 into the early ninety's with us. and after the war, every occupying for us had their own airfield food. that's the americana, the americans had temple off guard, or the british had gotto the funds will. and the french later got teagle homan on the brooklyn. and the british primarily did military recognizance english, which is commonly known as espionage shot, or batman landlord. frequent in brooklyn, bernard account. mm hm. f, who close the fancy deal at the air field was directly on the border between west berlin and east germany. the black, not only did the british spy on east germany,

but on an hour the airfield was also monitored by east german border troops. and as darcy as well, the al aunt are all he starts to hide cattle. almost a cinematic journey back in time. as if the end of casablanca had been filmed here, it wasn't, that the images are deceptively similar. ah, hang, afford got oh airfield is particularly intriguing. it's the only hang on that remains closed to the public. mm hm. these are cancer hung over the entire hanger was equipped with sound truth booth, the dance with state of the art listening equipment and of copy. my i'm alto shocked was name the americans, and the british always shared my blood to submit. alba,

there were always british air force personnel in the toilet bag surveillance station. and american personnel were also hearing that total us and british spies were especially active the way they were spies. there were also defectors and double agents working both sides. george blake was one of the best known british double agents. he's the key to the story of the mysterious tunnel. the allied museum is in the southern berlin district of darlin. need the former american military headquarters, spy threads converged here with the c i, analyzing sources. and the british planning a surveillance tunnel ah, front will not meet pallana embassy and then the toner. kind of on the oppressor position. they feel nothing. the un get something comma that was thrown into the

geelong one day watson. bellingers breaking up on that with the elders and friend paula who bought off and yet i'm glad they're released up yawning, mess up on the on fact galka up to that building and gape length idea. toner in i milligan, isn't of, i doubt not the own. and the allied museum now exhibits original pants from the famous tunnel 6 meter 3 just by 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, the telephone conversation, the soviets, solid major masturbation was doing the tama was problematic from the start. the k g b knew that the americans and the british were listening to this. and this is sir, because a british, a double agent launch place holds the k g

b that american, some british a building this tunnel, the can be had a problem because if the tunnel would have been found very, very early in time, americans and british valve is aware that as a mold this i viewed sufficiently, found the tunnel 6 months later ending operation gold. as it was known, pitches of the spy tunnel went around the world. and double agent, george blake would like to flee via east berlin to moscow, where he died in 2020. why do people like play cool? the shabbots has become spies. palla, money ideals, aist, germany as an attempt at a better society. this experiment in the east was a worthy experiment after the whole of cost, but no one talks about a worthy 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 be really high checkpoint charlie in central berlin. the legendary crossing between west and east draws tourists now but was then closely guarded by both sides. ah, one voter, 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 or when they came out, we have been out. i'm feeling one of the house court in the midst of the arms race, a famous agent crossed the checkpoint. his political mission was just as important as the sense of entering absolutely hostile territory. solitude of the agent.

ah, well, double 0704. thanks. then sir, great come with checkpoint, charlie is one of the reasons best known landmarks. he a to world history was written on november, the 9th. when the berlin wall fell and the cold war either seemed to end the iron curtain crumbled, reuniting the city. but not all were pleased. many spies lost their jobs, the political back rooms. the reason for being ah, the tales were in the us when they learned the wool had fallen. the k g

b agents decided to return it and in moscow, gone on the shore. when we were back in moscow, they tried to persuade us to continue and as our kids, it lets you out the so they said the situation had changed so much joy smith knew that if we were in berlin, they couldn't help us any more this year. under the 1st failure, we were afraid at 1st because the cia and f b, i were kidnapping people off the street. he amberlynn in the early ninety's nath hutner the dock knows of him and we thought of something like that happened. nobody would help us. and that was it while this was and were the other spies also afraid after the fall of the wall 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 arrested and our son was withdrew. they put me in the current court and

our neighbor came over to be a witness. well, the house was searched in the end ancient shabbots was acquitted. the couple entered this spying careers without a criminal record. nobody was killed, we were killed either. and so we went on with our lives with the spy museum, opened in central berlin in 2015, nearly 20 years later. it's now a must of a spy fans and recounts berlin story as an espionage hot spot with exhibitions on surveillance and wiretapping techniques. people, scandals, historical tiles, and reports on current cove cases. the cold war is over, but agents continue to operate. is berlin again between the fronts of

a new cold war 1st example, an execution slim chance kangaroo, feely. a georgian shot dead in the t. a garden park, his death suspected to have been ordered by the russian secret service. second example. in 2021, a man fell to his death from a russian embassy window in berlin. his body vanished shortly after blacky back to moscow. a spy. 3rd example, in 2013 rumors raged that the american embassy in berlin was wanna tapping top. jim and politicians, including the chancellor politicians were furious. the tip of the iceberg. ah, ben, berlin, as the european spy capital said the 2012, the 2018 president of the federal office for the protection of the constitution for fossil in 2019,

the german federal intelligence service responsible for foreign intelligence gathering, moved into a $260000.00 square mason building in berlin. a massive building for 4000 staff. what do they all do? berlin still seems to be a popular choice for intelligence agencies. we know only that there is a doc c question, sometimes deadly side to this city. ah ah ah, with
