Steve Vogel | The Berlin Tunnel and an Epic Tale of Cold War Espionage
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 апр 2018
- In 1954, while thousands were fleeing communist East Berlin, American and British intelligence officers were tunneling in. Working with Britain’s MI6 and US and British army engineers, the CIA dug a tunnel into the Soviet sector of Berlin. The goal? Tapping Soviet military and intelligence communications cables.
Steve Vogel, author of the upcoming book, Diamond and Gold: George Blake, the Berlin Tunnel and an Epic Tale of Cold War Espionage, will reveal the remarkable story behind the tunnel’s clandestine construction, its betrayal by the notorious British spy George Blake, and the truth about the effectiveness of this audacious project.

What an incredible presentation. This channel is woefully undersubscribed at 13k. If I’m ever in DC, you better believe I’ll be visiting!
local library had a "$5/Fill a bag with books" sale last week and my kids found a book he thought I would like called "CIA: The Inside Story about our government's most secret organization....the Central Intelligence Agency" by Andrew Tully
....bit of a convoluted title, but it's a great book! it's old, from 1963, so it's very interesting to hear what people thought about things then and compare it to now.
I just started and it starts off with the story of the Berlin Tunnel. When it said that the East Germans turned it into a public museum for a while after it was found due to how impressive the tunnel was..... I had to take a pause and go learn about this event as it's own incident.
Just goes to show some of the frustrations that accompany espionage. Many examples how the an opposing force can’t immediately act on actionable intelligence, as cessation of certain activities would divulge knowledge of ‘said’ spying programs...I imagine that’s very frustrating for top agency officials and field officers. Catch 22 for certain!
I wish the slides that he was presenting were a little easier to see.
There is always a light on the projection screen. We can’t see some of the photos.
Shit in one hand & wish in the other. See which fills up first
It’s because it’s during the day
excellent talk! looking forward to the book!
This is a fantastic channel, but there seems to always be some problems with it: it's either with the microphone, or the lighting (slides)! (For example, you could a mic ON the person.) For Pete's Sake, get it right. We're not asking for a lot here!
Another brilliant talk. Would have been nice to have cut-always to the slides.
Fantastic. 🙂
Was stationed in Berlin in 89 -93, of course I wasn’t in the commo section. But very cool
So all the tapping of the CABLES what was the major INFO they got out of it???

Um um um um um um um um um um um um.
Nope. Not "um," "ahh--." Now that we have voice recognition and speed and pitch control, there should be a way to filter out these idiosyncrasies.
The occasional verbal tic is normal, but this dude manages to crunch a few dozen into every sentence. It's unwatchable.
Sorry mate,
When you make your slides viewable I will watch them.
Yrs
In 1947 "The Diary of a Young Girl" was published in which Anne Frank documents her life in hiding from 1942 to 1944. “Half” of the original document was written in ball point pen. The ball point pen wasn’t readily available until the middle 1950s.
Long disproven myth. It was written entirely in ink and pencil
@@joachim5080 No it wasn't. Stop lying. Besides that, there was a lawsuit about it and who forged parts of it. Either you're a Jew or citing Jews who lie all the time.
How many times does he say um and ah it's annoying lost count
Once the KGB learns of the tunnel in 1948...”So, how’s Sasha like school?” (Soviet KGB officer twirling his fingers in his hair) “And these bread lines! What a nightmare!” 🤣 “And can you believe those Navy idiots stenciled ‘property of US on those underwater cables?’” GRU officer spinning around on a bar stool listening to our cables. 🤣🤣🤣
B-O-R-I-N-G.
would have um loved um to um continue um but um i um couldnt um handle um ah um
