or is that a good thing? the human versus machine, the 45 minutes on d, w. german was sing for winning offer is available world wide. and for every language level, learning german has never been simpler. german to go. the capital of spies, 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 so i want to flush my passport down the train toilet.

so we never felt like james bond route, filling spine hot spots past and present till only a small part of the truth the cause of the seed. he holds even more if the truth told in countless spine movies the, the wisdom and eastern secret service has waged. a clash of titans, info named were opposing systems collided. the front line of the cold for the may for tegan is of the cold war, live door to door invalid fine. and i'm just following up here, start and things. and so again, there's a few need of these one toyota assembling style. use these ends up soon. the skies

until it gets to us on face spies was said to look on every corner in berlin from off to world war 2 until the phone with the building will in 1999 1000000000 at 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 stops at the allies, britain, france. and the us along with russia, had freed the city from nazi room. the, the pottstown agreement divided building into 4 sectors, one each for the victors. but hostilities soon followed the code who had been gone east fairly and was on the soviet rule. while the allies government, 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 here. the bench on costco has been researching berlin and its spies for decades. and his co authors, the book capital of spies. and the break comes around to 1947 when it was obvious that the nations that going in different directions for berlin wisdom, the east germany, was the beginning of the code forward. and that's a point also where the intelligence collection started to get more intense. with the late and was now in orland, surrounded by socialist east, germany, eastern and wisdom pals crushed the borders, but the representatives were allowed to move freely between sect is perfect for spot. so the lynn 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, i would say building is of the capital of the coach or journey through secret island in search of spies, the dock side of the global city. we meet for them a spies with incredible stories. we were told to be careful look around, but there was no special training now to recognize the tool or to the talk to jim in to you at the thought you spoke to 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 like indian because he's going to mention, he's got biden's item the most. i found it to be kind of this the best possible one behind 1000000000 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 spike couple, jeffrey and beatrice ship. it's crossed between west and east berlin to meet with members of the administrative, state security, extremities intelligence service, as well as the styles, the country secret police to use they were the country's top spies. the high profile target was the chancellor of the federal republic of germany, the of the department of one a. they were specialized in getting information from the chancellor's office. and this cons. we were shot the, we will train the spawns and so we had renew. we have

a lot of work that day, which is by, on the highest political figure in the country, making them some of the most dangerous agents of the postwar period. the former friedrich stross a check point between east and west. berlin was a place of surveillance and the espionage the stalls. a monitor who left the country and who met with their eyes and ears were almost every way the set at the station. the same from a spice film, 2 small american venture and the volume 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 took nap dissidents and operated its own prisons. a line in the s and spa ja, nearly 3000 people were hired for the m s. s and the 1st 2 years alone on the stage on business, and that grew steadily until 1989, one of the one device. dishonest is brutality remains a source of cinematic inspiration to this day lacking clue, a comedic series, the board as on slapstick loud enough to own with this plan, the

the lines to the stones, he will head close to the gnomon and strauss 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 boss, so 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 would never expose during their acted cause the years. but all the agents were

over and over again on both sides. the, the kleenex, a bridge separates west berlin and put stuff. then a part of east germany. the bridge became the symbol of agent exchanges. a not time went to scene in steven spielberg's film shows the cold and ruthlessness of a tough business. opened the gate. the rudolf is there not the possibility that my people are going to shoot me? yeah. you're not worried. would it help the me, the book of this life, the cleaning cut bridge is probably the most exaggerated spy location number landlord, and then the skip tubbs safely stuff that you need help with. and with the high month buys were only exchanged there 3 times in 1962, 85 and 86. i mean,

god forbid, it was still important in the context of berlin because it was used by vehicles for allied military emissions between west berlin and pots dominy and the need him is he on finish of taking a couple of different details? well, once agents to the soviet k, g b who also lived into the land in 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, 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 at some time under 3 or 4 different names. hudson toyota,

a few 15 and um i think 15 years with a k g b, i never once held a gun in my hand and i use my you want me to buy for it and a 100 and i'm to i once flushed my passport done 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. and vision nom, extend yet i just have a on a hill. and the wisdom outskirts of building is the appropriately titled, teufel speck or devil's mountain. the americans most important listening station was here alone in the forest, on the hillside with berlin visible in the distance. the sides is open to visiting its aging pooley that is still well secured. the deal is quite the one despite they can intercept radio signals here from far into poland. one given the that's why the stars and 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 will, not for me from you. so you heads up to 1200 people there and we shift 8 our system. and those people were listening to the conversations and of the washer. and they just listened to it. and this is a boring job. so that is not a life you would expect as a because by boring in film, the 21st, the style to submit sent to the behind the 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. just as was the regular citizens didn't notice anything in their

everyday lives. become the marie and shelter transit camp in west berlin. its way east german rescue, cheese profess registered and housed, but not always innocently. wisdom secret services like the c i a, in the british m. i. 6 went to the marie and sold it to the all east german citizens who came to west berlin had to 1st registering. marian, failed to pay the moon and being questioned by the intelligence 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 they started to collect steven east berlin because the

department 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 apartment. we worked 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. remember it covered and has a policy there always differences of opinion. and that was important to know while the ship, it says well active agents details had to wait in the us. they were to live under

false identities. on notice, on the scene, we were of cobb, i was in need with 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 the board traffic we're floating via and we would have been supported the soviet agent network in the u. s. again. and it says over. yup. and your and i just bought a tie and it was really the only hand move we could only rely on each other. and the separation from our family was of course, extremely difficult. on so on the tuesday we left moscow not knowing for how long before last and most com use me because if you got a secret chip at the west and most points of berlin on the former east german border time seems to have stood still got to a post once used by the nazis allied fictive britain took her to off to world war 2

. it's now a minute treat ideation museum the right out for us by here for north. the royal air force was stationed here from 1945 until the early ninety's, after the war, every occupying force had their own air field. that's the only kind of the americans had temple hoff gospel. the british had got to the front and the french later got take a human on the blip. and the british primarily did military recognizance english, which is commonly known as espionage shotwell, that's my lunch. or if it went to the cliff building arctic and the have to go to the fun fish the like. the air field was directly on the border between west berlin and east germany. the 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 scholars, the as well the one of the stats, which i got to almost a cinema sheet joining back in time as if the end of casablanca had been feeling too. it wasn't, that the image is a distinctively similar the hang of for got. so if field is particularly intriguing, it's the only hang it remains close to the public, the, these arkansas, the entire hanger was equipped with down tooth booth with them, with the state of the art listening equipment and of copy, my oldest polish officers name the americans and the british always shared one of them i put to submit about they were always british air force personnel and the to

it was bug surveillance station in the car. and american personnel were also here in gato, have told us and purchased spies more, especially active the way their response. they're also defective and double agents working both sides. george blake was one of the best known bush double agents. he's the key to the story of the mysterious tunnel. the, the allied museum is in the southern billing district of donald need. the form of american military headquarters spied spreads compared to with the c. i. analyzing sources and the bush planning a surveillance tunnel. the options were not to be found on investing in the toner con, to find that present position. defense not send the, i'm get something copy that was thrown into the 11 day. it was the youngest,

but you can find out what the hell is in san tyler you that up and yet i'm going to the least up to on and messed up on the on the best outcome up to that building on the play. so the toner in, i'm in the economy, some of our desktop zone in the allied museum now exhibits original pumps. from this famous tunnel it takes me 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, the telephone conversation associates, southern mitch 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 building this time on the can you be had a problem?

because if the tunnel would have been found very, very early in time, americans and british. but i'll just be aware of that as low as the science officially found the tunnel 6 months later ending operation 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 thought in 2020, the why do people like play called the ship? it has become spawns, power, money, ideals, east germany as an attempt at a bench of society. this experiment in the east was a worthy 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 loaded escalate to be really checkpoint charlie in central but in the legendary crossing between west and east charles to us 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 and find out right in front of 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. solitude the agent

to remove the low seventies. no, no. that's a great company. the checkpoint, charlie is one of the buildings, best known landmarks here to world history was written on november, the 9th. when the berlin wall fell and the cold war ears seemed to end beyond cut and crumbled, re uniting the city. but not all were pleased. many spots lost their jobs to political back rooms. the reason to be the details were in the us when they learn the rules at full and the k to be agents

decided to return to the most cove on before. when we were back in moscow, they tried to persuade us to continue and then these are, these are drugs who will have disorder. and they said the situation had changed so much or is that if we were in berlin, they couldn't help us anymore. this, you know, the sure still 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 conducting those events. and we thought of something like that happened. nobody would help us and not was it not as well. and with the other spies also afraid of to the full 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 the rest. and our son was, was jeff. 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 ship, it's was acquitted. the couple ended this fine 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 in central portland in 2015, nearly 20 years later. it's now a most for spies funds and were counseling story as an espionage hotspots, 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 authorize his building again between the front of a new cold war, the 1st example,

an execution. send him change and go severely. a georgian shot dead in the t a got in punk, his dad 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 spine. 30 example in 2013 room is raged at the man can embassy in berlin was wanna tapping top jim and politicians, including the chancellor politicians were furious. the tip of the iceberg, the best for the end is but european spike capital said the 2012, the 2018 president of the federal office for the protection of the constitution. i'm to see 4 possible shots in 2019 the gym and federal intelligence service responsible for foreign intelligence gathering. moved into

a $260000.00 square mesa building in berlin. a message building for 4000 and stuff put to the old building still seems to be a popular choice for intelligence agencies. we know only that there is a dock c cushion, sometimes deadly assigned to this city. the, [000:00:00;00]
