Dealing with the topic Kurras and the Stasi can make us aware of events that the public remain largely unknown because they play in a cloud of institutions, whose defining characteristic is its secrecy. After all, one may perhaps ask who, then, pulling the strings in this wicked little game, which is often a good and supporting the state air set up? Was it the case Kurras the Stasi, which wanted to make the exciting atmosphere during the Shah's visit to advantage, it was the nervousness of a Western cops with SED membership card, the icy implementation of the "sausage-slicing" of the Berlin police management, It was a demonstration of power, to play with a gun in the hand fate? Or hit because at the end of it all together? A few days before the election as president was the unveiling of a medial Kurras firecrackers, because the "criminal state" GDR, was suddenly once again on everyone's lips.
revelations as they can remember the events surrounding the European network of secret NATO armies in Europe, which had been formed in the early '50s with the help of the CIA and other intelligence agencies. In Germany it was called a "Stay-behind Armeee", which was dissolved, according to the Federal Government in April 1990. The Swiss historian Daniele Ganser describes in his book "NATO's secret armies in Europe," as the development of this network, operated by what methods this organization and what proportion had far-right movements of spectacular events in Italy or in Germany. The real task of the network was, it can be looked up to perform in the event of military confrontation with the Soviet bloc troops behind enemy lines, sabotage actions and guerrilla operations. Only a small circle of government officials was the existence of these secret armies known in Germany was responsible for the organization of a separate department at the Federal Intelligence Service. Across Europe, illegal and secret weapons depots were created. The military command had secret command from NATO in Mons, Belgium. The members of the European secret armies were composed of military special forces, intelligence officials and from the extreme right with some criminal, in the Federal Republic of Germany, with National Background. It should not be hard put in the young Federal Republic, members to recruit for this organization, not all were stored in the "zero hour" with the weapons and their brown spirit and the "threat scenarios" had after the second world war, not least by the American view of communism changed. The new old enemy from the Communist bloc was eventually present with the help of the media, in the minds of most Germans continue.
But in fact, it describes Ganser vividly in his 2007 also appeared in German and in places like a thriller book to read, were executed by members of these secret armies terrorist attacks, the then left-wing organizations were attributed and the following course for the appropriate attention and the fact responses provided. Having had first learned the Italian public of the events surrounding the secret armies - this is called the network "Gladio" - were also other countries and governments were aware forced to sell their shares in the network - at least in part - to be disclosed. In the anthroposophic monthly "Present" (unfortunately not online) published a detailed review of the book by Daniele Ganser and in the May issue of the journal "the three" Nothart Rohlfs also volunteered with a review of the book word.
