Contents/Summary

Summary

The Ministry for State Security (MfS) was from its founding in 1950 the central instrument of domination, the "shield and sword of the Party" for defense against external and internal enemies. The Stasi, the political secret police, conducted surveillance and investigated punishable activity. A gigantic European surveillance apparatus ultimately appears – spies and informants with German thoroughness, millions of victims and mountains of files in the "Gauck Archive".
