To this day, the department of the GDR State Security responsible for espionage in the Federal Republic, the HVA, is considered one of the best foreign intelligence services of its time. Former employees carefully cultivate this image. So far, it has not been possible to verify it independently, as almost all relevant documents have been destroyed. But now the history of the German-German intelligence war must be rewritten.
Michael Wala was given exclusive, complete and unrestricted access to the secret archives of the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution's counterintelligence. His book reveals for the first time the methods the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution used to try to track down GDR spies and the success they had in doing so. In the process, it refutes numerous myths.
