Spionage tunnels, listening posts, reconnaissance trips through the GDR - this is how the Western intelligence services tried to obtain information from the East. Kidnappings, prison sentences and double agents - the feared methods of state security. Unique insights into the practice of secret warfare in Berlin.
For almost half a century, the hottest front in the Cold War ran right through Berlin. From the summer of 1945 to 1990, the secret services of NATO and the Warsaw Pact fought an ongoing duel in the dark.
But German spies were also involved on both sides: Erich Mielke's Stasi and Reinhard Gehlen's Federal Intelligence Service, for example. The construction of the Wall in 1961 changed the political situation. Nevertheless, Berlin remained the capital of spies until the Peaceful Revolution. Journalist Sven Felix Kellerhoff and historian Bernd von Kostka describe the spectacular successes of various secret services in the city and their failures in other endeavours.
