of the weather, putting a punch with a loved gun. killing with poison umbrellas or hiding messages and shoe heels. spies of long use state of the r gadgets and inventions. real agents in the cold war and james bond in films. but who inspires whom legend has it that also ca, that like a c i. e director was at the movies now and afterwards went straight to the technical department and said basically make me the same device as the one in the field and noticed how the in early 2023, a chinese weather balloon that blew off course made headlines or was it really a spy balloon? such balloons could covertly collect information. that's why the us shut it down.

this kind of technology is indispensable for spying and venting gadgets. it's like an arms race for the most ingenious contraptions. some inventions are absurd and might not work properly or at all to find out what the other side is inventing requires a lot of what else, spying the as this x by for east germany is for an intelligent service. the h. b. a knows he went by the code name double 07 east. mine of, of my task was to find the source in the west from administrative defense, which is more a support in that department, or even among native staff stationed in west germany. this incident auto statement in the big, that's a new phone. the research for clues that the german spine use, human berlin,

which both europe's largest collection of genuine espionage devices. the contrary to what many believed spies rarely killed people. the when they do, they often use d. v as methods. for example, in 1978, a bulgarian disadvantage was killed with a poison umbrella re enacted in this film. as mark of waited for a bus, he felt something sting his neck. he turned to see a man picking up an umbrella running away. what seemed at 1st like a curious accident, turned into an extraordinary detective starting point 3 days later. michael, it's like something straight out of a bond movie. this legendary poison umbrella is on display at the spine museum in berlin. advice to guide you, the bulgarian secret services and the key g. p. what hold on his trails. as he

rushed to the doctor, described what happened? fell into a coma and died. that's a movement for another time. they couldn't figure out exactly why inside police are while performing an autopsy. they found a bold and it's smaller than in a normal ball point pen with you and it holds bored into it just containing poison of yet. when thought some question, i think it was a dr. francis gift. did it really happened that way? was the umbrella really the deadly weapon? no one knows. but the umbrellas destination is one of the great tales of espionage . the success of the bond films proves there is great interest in odd murder weapons. i wrote that ready for experts. tea party the, the test i think is a sort of, i think all intelligence agencies have special technical department as a classical spies aren't employed that, of course, but brother,

real experts and engineers are people from other technical fields in somebody and to ensure the best results they work together with leading company to assist. all health comes out. i think these of every country has leading companies in the fields and politics and audio technology. and of course, i certainly have secret cooperation agreement with these firms meetings. and it's, i mean, understanding, that's what he's got. hi, nicole. that's who owns had taken the but the for a murder comes up survey sion, after all, spying as an agent's main activity. east berlin and 1982 at the funeral of east german dissident robert, have him on this. does the east germany secret service aim to find out exactly who

his friends and companions where they employed a watering can and study agents dressed as gardeners skipped. here's a double compartment here, talk to to come over the camera was in the rear compartment and if i need to put water on the front one, the front seat or the shutter release was in the hands or something you needed practice. so that not just the feet, but the faces of those attending could be photographed and content. hidden cameras were also used to spy on people traveling through east german territory to get from west germany, to west berlin, one inconspicuous profit service stations, and parking lots was a fuel can, with a built in lens the, the didn't. we should even, for every important operation, we get to a specialist who develops things that were made special weren't sugar. so the spoken to this day, but i don't exactly know where they were,

but they develop gadget for various spite on the the entropy diesel. i worked a lot with women as well. so the gadgets had to set them to got to be secure for the notification. they were pretty much one of a kind was to the impossible. it wasn't as it shows, i'm $21.00. i can just, i marsh the i know whole such as june $180.00 of spine was of course, the kid war, which is also a war of spies. one of them then both sides wanted to find out how far the others military had developed. i just asked them whether there were plans for an attack gain or this was on guy from this has been in the military and political espionage played a really big role. painful economic espionage to the court house. that's awesome for golf. so that's how much of the espionage the strategy conductor was business really to the tasting of these, that soft off, cuz he said, one of this does these prime targets staff at u. s. military facilities, like berlin's toys, those big field stations. psychological tricks came into play,

to click and see if the elements link o d z and click this link august, then fund to actually get them has to follow budget, but as link i'll go through that the i did, i did up to the invite vision and what's your and if, how do you and these as to what soon didn't blinked signal easy if you have it with a mouthful. lindsey diagnostic because he does the doctor does, does the seal of gigs. i just checked the status, typically kentucky at the state. how does he have submitted of how for long an x? the film provides a vivid demonstration of the studies romeo method. after the psychological tricks came, the technological ones, arranged love scenes were observed using a special camera. dozens organize, and this is what's called

a pinhole camera stuff just as a uses by 2 of you all the text that i used all you know to monitor a whole room is a tiny utilize sized opening on both rooms. again, honey traps are a common method of espionage, and that's where the target is introduced to a lady or gentleman in some pictures are covertly taken of being painter as evidence or not, some device or phenomena to later be used as blackmail material to elicit information. the stalls, it could be very inventive, as shown by the educational films made for fledgling secret service agents. in this film, the berlin apartment of a writer whose come under suspicion is being searched you'd like silver custom website, is it? does it, can you months in the future when trusting to bonum, when in an up these visual ins? christopher, believe them, of human person, as i double in the middle part of the government that likes to him discipline. so

most when subject can be opened and under once a month to us it was of now the lights come on. the gadgets and devices this does he used were often invented by the soviet secret service, the k g b of the close of tyler default franklin hunt, especially interesting of psych newman is presented as these talk likely feel events to invite somebody know what can be done so if you get this and you're good in the ticket document to you. so the president had to come into the eyes of us, spark of simple site and as a, as far as cost wise. well now and it gets in and despite the looking for deem and kind of strong focus and then going straight to a particular project manager cameras small enough to fit into a key fob. we're perfect for photographing, secret documents organize just like some of

the original version of this camera was taken from a c i a agent and occasionally made this replica an apple. and if you remove the cap and see the camera, the front seat on someone, you pull the background from and it takes the photos. and if you're well trained, you can hide it in your hands. so it's not visible. but thing you put a graph documents, you might only ever get a single count of photos on to comments and i'd things mess with it because sometimes the setup was more large scale like these in for red lights installed in the side of a car deal for surveillance of under cover of darkness. so the name that i use, the problem is you need quite a few infrared lights to bridge long distance is fast and so that, that's why you need to be many fit to jump to the door of try be in the to i just come on it will be covered by a plexiglass plane painted the same color as the car like hip hop. the infrared light could penetrate this thin layer doesn't visible. so the human eye let me see what is done. the car would then be positioned in front of the highest of

a person you wanted to shadow. and if it was altered before, we could use the car to observe gatherings of young people on the rock for punk concert, something like they can buy concepts and my whole concept in my part concept in his mind to them and pull back from me. but the other side was equally inventive as q shows bond, that's an underwater camera. it takes 8 pictures in rapid succession by pressing that button now. or is that clever? but if you can take pictures in the dock with an infrared, so yes, try to be a little less than your usual frivolous self douglas and his images in it as well. which follows a bright red flare, a distress signal. it should keep it on you, dan. nights the another classic tool of espionage is wire tapping electronic eaves dropping below

the engine. a cold ski shows us the tiny microphones known as the bugs, the the us through winnings down the lives of others. features a memorable scene where this does the bugs an entire apartment in minutes, the

gigabytes per year or a few examples of microphones that reuse during the clear war. the awesome these models were originally developed in the us for hearing aids and then use for other purposes for them as, as you can see, the bugs fit easily on site. a nice like this. we most indeed have some a, a and where there's one box. there's usually another the provide somebody to this, the embassies or regularly search, the head of visits by politicians to check and other secret services have hidden bugs. if they're video bugs and of course you can find them because the image signal was house and you can locate them with a book detector because it makes it sort of painting. same thing because i can ping lot, scheme and pains always felt trouble. the

clearly this whole room has been bugged me secretly gathering and passing along the information is espionage one. 0 one. a good. nice. now again, most agents certainly over 90 percent or even more to get information on the cell phone. probably the world's best known machine to encrypt messages. now, a collector's item is the legendary and nicholas cipher device used by the german military and the 1920s. and then by the nazis semester, this is the machine used by the next season, world war 2, which they believed within a site for all communication that so they couldn't be decrypted by the enemy. of

british intelligence went to great lengths to crack the enigma code open. it's an example of how valuable secret surfaces can be nice for them to approve. they were useful instruments when it came to feeding. the nazis, in this case, produced intelligence developed a device called the phone, initially designed by mathematician island during which was able to crack the enigma turing bombs. and to historians estimate the discharge in the 2nd world war . and i used to be to for years, once historical stress and daughter has the suspect to right click on that, i just see how difficult the enigma was based on the system of rotors whose settings denazi's change daily. the historic moment turing's team broke the code was recreated for the big screen. 6 am as the

m y y m m s s a i c c t t i t y y a i k misjudged you. list of printers directed to 53 degrees, 24 minutes north and off from one degree west. the 10000, that's the anytime and you need to know the brakes, you make the the precise position of the german torpedo boat jaguar, brilliantly decoded by the british, marked a turning point in the war a few decades later, double. 07 was receiving messages directly from his watch. also

perfect for hiding messages. oh, how low show hill. and even a colorful scarf. is this i'm charged. ok. this scar was taken from us as the agent by west german intelligence. i couldn't see napkin on the scarf can absorb secret and not to go hunting to the agent right to a perfectly normal. that's right. but something completely harmless, right. between the lines off ending the century, police has a scar over a document and the ink seeks through and impressing a tiny amount of the increments onto the document. so providing to us that it took place. and vincent got both tired to attend, to helped us to come in during the cold war and the scars for me specifically for women. so after all, there were many more female agents, the most spying movies would have us believe priced monthly. the how were packages of secret materials

smuggled into communist east germany. a former studies by spills, the beans, the dean bucket as much as advantage, including board of the berlin by the train that travelled between the western call me as soon as i move. then you go to the toilet default and using a clean, a screwdriver, then open one of the ceiling panel onto the shop and then which the package in there screwed up, kind of call it. think about if that makes 3 small x is under the window except which the plot simply put, everything was precisely planned, designated signal set in the message that something was coming near. going to tell you, click luckily, because luck was a part of it uses. we never made mistakes that attracted attention. feel, or those of us of to find the size might have to cross enemy

territory on the mission. what happens if they get lost or are arrested? these 3 little helpers were used in war time. a math hidden under a playing card. a sharp blade disguise does a cooling and a razor that's actually a compass. the film directive fritz non depicted, escape like this. from a subway tunnel. the straight into the park. in case of capture, the following rule always applied. when this thought to con, but when it happened, which it did, all due to the trail or mistakes, of nobody's perfect, kind of send, the motto was you needn't try to deny evidence that's irretrievable and clean for all to see me. as device is most likely i would say yeah,

ok, but not by just single centimeter under that into the lights on those. sometimes there's a way out double. 07 shows how the a hi as much because of the box size. what is, isn't that a hope? she's a wonderful this very small, quite fast, to doing, just to try to come to the advice that's for the stuff the tell you knew that by the 1970s that the lead to the technical development was far more advanced in the west. and the easiest thing was whether it was computers for different radio systems and so on, folks to say what the industry. and it was clear that the east of can't importing

western technology in the advanced technique inputs here. but sometimes it came to a showdown. and the enemy had to be eliminated. for example, using something that was easy to hide and seemingly harmless and took them since twins. the key g, b invented this murder weapons and the costs as to what is a gas gun that can speak streamline deadly cyanide gas where the agent could end up in hailing some of themselves or something. and that's why spies as a rule, had and to do it for before and after firing the gun by there was a big plus, a sign that's going on. generally it a dispersed by the time the ambulance come there, restrict, the victim was dead. and the power emetics couldn't determine the cause of this may have stated that was quite i been teaching until it came out that the victim had been poisoned. the agent had time to get away and i can see how to identify recall some stuff another secret

service favorite is the legendary a tosh a case. it was also developed for personal protection though those carrying this unassuming mens accessory needed good a, me go find a bundle is a special concealed weapon. com. the tricky part is that you can fire, i'm taking it to debrief people. say that also mean, that means the trigger was ranked within the mechanism that came up here between the handle. most problems, certainly something so at least though i was going to be an attack just had always been in order to cushion the recoil. you told us in front of your stomach and then we can pull the trigger on the cobra for them, but the gun would fire through the leather 2 sons of you would have to benefit the prize effect until we find out when daughters sentrea issac works with us on the phone and to yes, james bond had his attach a case to as an all purpose weapon. black and white with 20 rounds of ammunition. yeah. yeah.

i have to take the top of you find the ammunition inside the side here, flat screen, i press that button. that magic comes inside the case. you will find an a o 7 folding snipers. right? $4.00 caliber with an info red telescopic sight. this guy on, during this thing, see the screen right here to the bottom. it goes, we're very imaginative about technology that didn't exist yet. linguistic. obviously, i think that our stories with a c, i, a director was not the movies of all. and afterwards went straight to his technical department. i didn't say nothing to make me the same device as one of the film can take into effect for insults. as best you can, we're seeing the old finger must be it was a kind of gps transmitter. the james bond also higher than the halo. shoot for sticking con, right away, the see how you wanted to replicate that things, but i feel sometimes the inspiration also came from fiction ice health

a quick and easy murder with a glove gun tolentino film made it famous that it couldn't have been staged more smoothly. than this you don't have the, the, the,

the hey, day of and gina's by gadget seems to have passed or has it today. everything's digital and everyone's got it. i told you, i know for secret services are still working on developing better technology. you will have to spend digitalization has made it all much more common police heights and higher because it's far cheaper to produce nowadays. and so you can easily buy lots of spiked a lot for online on cut from somebody to blame those cold. so or james bond and q, no history or are things just getting off the ground when it comes to spies in their text, you should never say die. the
