Descriptionof Operation Gold
Manufacturer

It was one of the most spectacular espionage operations of the Cold War: British and American intelligence services dug a tunnel from West Berlin that extended some 330 metres into East Germany. From there, they were able to eavesdrop on hundreds of thousands of telephone conversations between Soviet military personnel from May 1955 until the operation was exposed in April 1956. This book reconstructs the dramatic events and adds a missing piece of the puzzle that lay undiscovered for decades in the archives of the Berlin Underworlds Association: comprehensive documentation prepared for GDR Interior Minister Karl Maron contains previously unknown photos and reveals details about how the spy tunnel worked and how the Soviets tracked it down.
