After the Second World War, the National Socialists were probably the best networked. They were everywhere: in the parties, in the state parliaments, in the ministries, in the Bundestag and in the federal government. In the police and intelligence services anyway.
Anyone who wanted information also recruited agents in these circles. surprisingly, so did GDR espionage. For example Hans Sommer, who switched from the Nazi security service to the Gehlen organization, later the BND, and then to the GDR's state security service.
The recently published book "Spionage im Grenzland" describes secret service activities from the 19th century to the end of the GDR. However, it can also be read as a warning for the present day, according to one of the authors, Helmut Müller-Enbergs. He wants to use current research findings to suggest to politicians how a foreign power manages to use parliamentary groups, for example, and what things they are "interested in".
A book full of surprises from intelligence research.
The curious past of politician Björn Engholm and his involvement with the Stasi were also examined here with astonishing results. The authors are not only scientists, some of them also belong to different intelligence services.
