Description

The protection of GDR state representatives and their foreign guests was a core task of the Ministry for State Security and was mainly realised by its Main Department of Personal Protection (HA PS). Henry Nitschke's book is dedicated to this topic comprehensively and in detail. The author examines acts of violence in the GDR as well as manifestations of international terrorism and describes the tasks that resulted for the MfS bodyguards.

He describes the measures taken to secure party and government objects as well as the "Waldsiedlung" near Wandlitz, the residential property of the GDR political elite. Based on the meticulous evaluation of the file material of the HA PS as well as on recordings of and conversations with contemporary witnesses, the expert on the history of intelligence services presents the specific task forces of the MfS personal protection in detail, tells of the arrangements for the supply and care of the leading functionaries and the procedures for securing the protocol route. And of course the "Klosterfelde shootings", which were sensationally mentioned in the West German media as the "Honecker assassination", are not missing.
