Abstract
Abstract:The three articles above—Thomas Wolf on the origins of the BND (West German intelligence), Siegfried Suckut on the Stasi's reaction to Willy Brandt's Ostpolitik, and Rüdiger Bergien on Siemens and the Stasi—have two things in common: they promise new perspectives on their topics using freshly uncovered archival material and they focus on secret service agencies on both sides of divided Germany during the early Cold War. Though seemingly disparate, themes emerge in these articles upon closer analysis that tie them together: relationships/influence, suspicion, and secrecy. I will analyze each article separately before turning to the more general common themes.
