This movie remembers me of an Easter Block joke:
Ivan calls KGB: My neighbor Boris has money sent from CIA hidden in the woods. KGB came chops all the Boris's woods and finds nothing. After a while Ivan and Boris met: Thank you for send me people to chop the woods, says Boris. Who were they? Asks Ivan. The same people that I have sent to dig your garden, by tell them that you have weapons hidden there, answers Boris
That reminds me of a joke I heard in a monologue by some socialist musician or another, that went something like this: "Now, I knew by this point that the FBI was reading my mail. Of course, I was fine with that, those folks had to learn it from somewhere. Anyways, I wrote to her saying 'For god's sake, don't dig up the garden, that's where the guns are buried'. Two days later the National Guard show up and till up the whole garden just in time for me to plant the damn things"
Hahaha

And I doubt it was even remotely funny when you heard it back then because it's totally shit now whichever way you tell it
Another good movie. I recommend the desert survival film as well. I'm about to watch the jungle survival one next.
Man, I'm getting hooked on these training vids!
The training vids we watched in the army when I was in like 21 years ago, had nothing on these! The ones we saw had that super cheap, low budget 80s & 90s vibe to em, horrible acting, some were so cheesey bc you can tell the creators were trying to be "hip and cool" to appeal to the "kids" 😂 and they had no plots! Where were the fln storylines??
My favorite one was about depleted uranium (DU), narrated by an army armor officer in his class A's (I believe he was a full bird, or an LTC at a minimum); middle aged white male, short white/grey hair, receding hairline, and this film had a definite old-school vibe (reminded me of a propaganda film), like it could have been made in the 60s or 70s (it was in technicolor), and he kept repeating that DU is your friend...
Meanwhile in between that statement, he was talking obviously about what DU was and how we use it (oh, I was an M1 Abrams tanker/19K, and DU is something we're around a lot), and then how dangerous it is, how it can contaminate anything, and ofc DU poisoning-cue black and white photo images of horrifically deformed babies and children of servicemen who've been exposed to DU-and even types of conditions DU poisoning can give the soldier directly (small stuff like cancer and what have you), but for the most part it's a silent deal that will take its revenge on your children... But never fear, because
DU IS YOUR FRIEND.
Trenchcoats,hats, binoculars in the street...I was expecting someone to pull out a shoe-phone.
Lol
Who knew the U.S. Defense Dept could make a GREAT B- movie!
moon landings were a classic. up there with godzilla movie and the blob
@@jesusislukeskywalker4294 Cuz Soviets had no reason to expose a fake?
Hollywood knows all about it.
Just as entertaining as any episode of Secret Agent, I Spy or Mission Impossible 😀😃😄. This is a federally funded The Spy Who Came In From The Cold.
@@jesusislukeskywalker4294 Godzilla didn't really land on the moon
Let’s remember, that at this time in Berlin, there were constant attempts by both sides to get any information that could become a piece of the puzzle. Young women could befriend a lonely soldier and begin to acquire non classified information and meet other soldiers with more valuable information. A thriving black market in alcohol and western cigarettes, may help a soldier make allot of cash. Later, that soldier could be blackmailed into giving up information on vehicles and technology. And yes, as indicated in the film, the loyalty of civilians was always a question. Mayday and anti Vietnam war rallies were very well attended.
Imagine being in a restaurant where every single other diner was a member of one or other intelligence agency! And probably quite a few of the staff as well.
That's when you say go ahead and tell on me nerd. Selling a few cigarettes is better than being hanged.
It's almost like the whole point of the 'war', was illegal trade

This video has some awesome background music for spy thriller.
Right. Feels like I’m playing armymen rts. Go green!
Never mind those west German counter-intel dudes that look old enough to have served in the old Gestapo.
They probably did serve in the SS, or the Gestapo.
CIA was created out of the old remnants of the the SS under Reinhard Gehlen, and the American OSS.
I’m always wary of guys reading newspapers and peering over the top - especially the ones in trench coats.
It's always the guys you aren't paying attention to that notice. Though odds are if you see some random guy peering around, they may be a distraction from the real spy casually walking next to you looking like he's waiting for a bus.
XD at the guys casually checking the gate and looking around like they stole sometime. They made it look as suspicious as possible in that shot. Discretion WAY out the window.
The narrator sounds like Peter Graves, which given his MIF role on CBS seems appropriate.
Little did they know how much easier it would have been to plant an operative in the US White House and just have them share whatever you need.
The biggest flaw with letting the people decide elections, no accountability. Military leaders need Degrees or mad discipline to work for these guys who probably bought thier degree and were popular enough to win the vote. And we the people seem to be too stupid to realize the majority doesn't have most people's best interests in mind, only their own at everyone else's expense. like WHY is the supreme court decided by congress and approved by the president? They really should be decided by an independent party so they won't be biased to any political partisanship that forms from how people vote. especially since simple majority decides most of these. Extremely flawed system to make the least qualified people have the best chance of winning.
popular enough - tapped to be the next stuffed shirt, talking head, imo
arranged so the least qualified is elected & appointed - made to be that way since very early on in our national experiment.

What makes you think they didn't? There is a reason George Scherff/Bush got the WH.
These spies are terrible! They're missing the movie cameras everywhere!
LMAO
Hahahahaha
I just want to know what in the WORLD they said to the neighbor to "assess sympathy". I can't think of ANY natural conversation with a guy in a trenchcoat that wouldn't have me thinking "Why does the CIA want to know about my neighbor? What are they DOING?" Plus there's no reason for the neighbor to think Prentus is doing anything wrong. I don't even know nor care what my next door neighbor LOOKS LIKE, though if I see a ton of cops raiding his house I'm a ghost too.
I received a Christmas gift from Santa; U.N.C.L.E. Attaché case with all kinds of neat spy equipment. I could have gone straight into governmental work
what BS spy novel is this from
ARMY TRAINING SIR
To all the wannabe spies in this chat: Thumbs up if you noticed the mysterious lady at 36:40 !
The upside down one?
Which one? The slut right.
Fun fact: in 1999, spies began to meet again in that villa at 11 Sven Hedin street. It became the residence of German intelligence service BND for a few years.
At the time the film was made there was the "Joint Allied Refugee Operations Center, Berlin - JAROC (B)", where CIA and friends interrogated East Germans.
The message of the story: When you do illegal business, you must allways set up a look-out!
and maybe...dont' call them on a tapped public telephone.... That's literally the only reason they were able to find out about the meeting.
Wow real top secret stuff! Thanks for sharing 🙏
Back when a German quaffing wine at dinner was a known secret signal.
Best line so far:
"The prisoners will be taken to a place of detention, where a complete body search will be conducted."
Observation: Consider how efficient these law enforcement officers are, even though their camouflage suits are at the dry cleaners.
Yes, that Dashund should have earned an Emmy for that deft move.
Interesting that you feel That was the best part, and quite a vivid imagination in the matter...🤔🧐😂
It'd be really interesting to know what percentage of info was real and how much was made up to catch people out.
None of us really know.... but what I can surmise is if the public knows about it, it's probably made to catch people out. What people don't realize is while they like to joke about this stuff, there's reasons why enemies haven't just bombed our cities even though nothing really stops them from doing so. Just a constant case of "it always happens to the other guy, never happens to me."
Of course pocketing any and all cash found has always been a "perk" of the job... cuz who they gonna call ? a cop ...?
Never did trust any E7
Eyeing the 1st Sargents job.
That guy looked around after he pocketed that money like THEY were the criminals. Probably was the same guy who tried to open the gate and found it was locked. Let me see that and call the police "Yeah two suspicious dudes are walking around my neighbor's place and trying to open his gate, peering through his fence and taking photographs." I have no idea who my neighbor is, but you can't be too careful with snoopers.
This is currently happening to me in Miami today
What?
I'm sure the old JMWave station, in Miami, is still in-operation and up to its old dirty tricks.
Gang stalking?
Similar tactics were used back in the Cold War by the soviets. Then called “Zerzetsung”
Translated, “Disintegration”
Of dissidents. Today Targets are chosen for much less.
God bless you Ms.
Like a very bad episode of Mission: Impossible.
Hmmm?🤔. Interesting. That looks like “discrete” surveillance, alright: 7:58 marker. Like, how many civilian men wearing a business suit stand at a military gate reading a newspaper right in front of a sign that says, “Authorized Personnel Only?”🙄! Can’t pick that character out if you know you are leaving your military base carrying smuggled highly classified documents.😑.😂😂😂😂
@20:34 whup! they just violated his 4th amendment rights per Katz vs United State. CASE DISMISSED!!!
It's not taking place in the United States idiot
A sergeant with the hairline of a full-bird colonel...
😂
And now we go to my place, yes? And now we go to your place, yes.
that whole scene was messed up. The guy clearly didn't care for the woman. Even after he realized he's probably going to get paid he still sounded fed up with her about wanting the dress but somehow that convinced them to do what isn't my business after dinner. If bro's not in the mood why even take her to dinner THAT night?
Some of those agents look as if they came fresh from Idaho farming. One of them had his mouth standing open all the time.
I wasn't going to say anything but Tom did make some funny expressions. Homeboy does NOT know the meaning of the word "DISCRETE"
Looks a lot older than 1969.
All of this to find out who shot JR
What's the cover story for nosy dudes in suits lurking on suburban streets? Wouldn't workmen of some sort be less noticeable?
The true ones show in background, for example at the start is the lady in background, notice how she looks twice, discreetly. Next scene is another woman.
Human stupidity reached a level where is needed counter-counter-counter-counter-intelligence.

Is there any better disguise than a trench coat?
At 8:38 check out the flooders!
At 11:00 who knew Mary Tyler Moore was a sparrow?
Very obvious coats that stand out from everyone else it's like wearing a black robe and hood and sneaking in is it like what the coat gives me +20 to my sneak skill. And -1 to enemy perception. Who knows. Maybe the world is a giant chess game.
Idk who Taylor Moore is but I do know the sparrow. Many sparrows.
@@beau1112Knowing the CIA they'd probably get a LOT more information if they actually wore black robes and hoods than trench coats and suits. Everyone would just think he's a cosplayer and think nothing of it. The best way to hide is in plain sight sometimes. Plus YOU try explaining "IT must've been that dude in a black hooded robe sneaking around like he's spiderman! He probably got my secrets!" without sounding like you watched WAY too many cartoons.
I'm always on guard against sino-russian agents and domestic tankies.
The Major calls the Sergeant "Sir”. #headdesk
This is like a "learning German" film from the 60s.
That Bicycle is Bobbie Trapped I saw it in field manual 5-34.
5:25. Sgt. Prentice has a defense. He declassified these documents "just by thinking about it" then took them home to his private club and claimed they belonged to him.
Then notified the national archives, and then reinforced the lock on the cabinet in a building with 24/7 secret service protection per FBI recommendation. Must be nuclear codes. What a traitor!
...Because he's a Russian agent! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@jacobcastro1885 Then had an affidavit produced that attested to his assertion that he didn't have any documents.
@@MrShobar you win... no documents whatsoever. Not even his own bank statement... yet they found stuff. (You realize he claimed to have no CLASSIFIED documents? The docs he had were as unclassified as his own bank statement.)
You're a joke. People laugh at your TDS.
@Y T "Brandon's Garage" is a business here in town that specializes in foreign cars. Are you confused about something?

Always remember to use the Reserved Spy Parking spots, they are well marked. And always wear Dark Suit white shirt with tie so people think you work for IBM. Trench Coats are optional.
I think in the "Spying for Dummies" book it says to always use the same guy to sit near the target's table every time he sits in the same restaurant.
I intelligence in the military was an oximoron
Clean-shaven white guys only.
@@garfieldfarkle Indeed. Good to see other people noticing this as well. So, from the inception of the OSS back in the mid 1940’s until the time this film was made, what, a quarter of a century later how much you suppose the staffing diversity of United States intelligence agencies is reflected by what you see in this film? I mean ‘diversity’ in the broadest sense. Do you suppose there was much diversity in personal opinion or world outlook? How about diversity in problem solving methods?? How about differing points of view in intelligence analysis??? Were such things encouraged or even tolerated? I’m sure the folks in our intelligence community would never fall into the trap of hiring only people who look and think and act like them, you know, like the bright minds at IBM did for decades. Did we typically maintain the upper hand dealing with enemy intelligence agencies? How many opportunities remain invisible when everyone’s looking through the same regulation model eyeballs? If you and your overachiever whitebread perfect student squeaky clean buddies were running an intelligence agency what would be your first priority: Defeating your enemy once and for all? Justifying your existence and lifestyle? Of course when you’re defending the State what isn’t justified?
@@jmansfield8554 This is a field I have been studying for a long time and have been building a database for 20 years.
In terms of diversity, we've gotten a lot better. One thing we have done is recruit a lot of hot chicks. They fly under the radar, especially with chauvinists like we find in Arab countries.
Although I know we have a lot more women and members of racial minorities, I don't have enough information to say whether we have gotten to where we want to be.
About a decade ago several female CIA officers tried to sue the agency because they were passed over for promotion to senior positions. I'm pretty sure the suit was thrown out.
The general impression I have is when it comes to hiring racial minorities, the CIA has done better with recruiting officers with Latino or Asian heritage than African Americans. But I hasten to add that is not based on much, so I have no firm conclusions.
One terrific source here on RUclips for videos on the intelligence field is the International Spy Museum. They have authors and other lecturers with great experiences to share about either their research or work in the intelligence field.
What if a guy walked in wearing a Hawaiian shirt? They'd never suspect a fat, loud guy screaming loudly at foreigners, now would they?
Not exactly Mission: Impossible but probably more accurate
Wow, it's a spy movie for spies!
I kept looking for Colonel Flagg.
"It's even better, than "Cats"!
I would never notice that I was being followed around by a dark colored Beetle.
Especially if I was knowingly selling and PHOTOGRAPHING Classified information in my own office. Homeboy has NO peripheral vision whatsoever. He also noticed the guy downing wine and walking into the bathroom after him but didn't notice the guy who sat at a table with a newspaper and only ordered a coffee.... for DINNER.
@@MarioMastar I remember when Beetles were everywhere... but dang! This dude never noticed, "Everywhere I go... I'm being followed by a VW Beetle with a bunch of nerds in it..."

It's 2023 & it's still done this way! Except Drug dealing to finance operations & killing off *friends of target instead of confrontation" LOL comedic act!!
Haha hmm wonder what "S3" was and why no information about it can be found lol
S3 is a military term, in each unit office. S1 administration, S2 intelligence, S3 operations, S4 supply-logistics. 4 departments with separate responsibility.
The music, in this film, reminds me of the music that was used, by NFL Films, during the 1960s, to go with pro-football highlights.

Classic Minox camera
Just like Lee Harvey Oswald, and millions of other normal Americans like him, had.
The US taxpayers also paid for this propaganda ....im just guessing 😂😂😂 so very naive
I guess the sarge just can't get by on his army pay. You can't trust anyone then or these days.

Why would You be a Traitor to Your own Country?! (USA).
Money is usually the reason why people betray their country. People having financial problems are a sure mark for a spy .
because its not your country
I remember reading something about it. Assuming the individual is spying of their own free will (has not been blackmailed), it isn't always about money, and such people don't make the best spies as they are, once caught, relatively easy to "turn" into double agents. Same thing with those who betray for "ideological" reasons. The Soviets distrusted them the most, particularly in the period following Kruschev's denunciation of Stalin, when many on the Marxist-Leninist left underwent an existential crisis of sorts. The Soviets always considered people like Aldrich Ames to be the most valuable because their motivation was primarily egotistical; money was a consideration as a tangible sign of his "worth" and accomplishments, but for him it was really about satisfaction derived from getting the better of his American bosses, "proving" to himself his superiority over them. Such people are the most motivated to provide consistently high quality intelligence while ensuring they won't be detected. Ironically, it was because Ames was noticed to be living somewhat above his pay grade that threads started to be pulled, leading to his exposure.
Look at the eastern German democratic republic (DDR). They had family members, neighbors, colleagues spying on each other. If there's something that can be extorted from you, intelligence will find the means to do so.
We're talking about a literal business of lying and stealing here - I don't think morals were a factor.
Why would you be loyal to a ruling class living in a particular place instead of either desiring for a better life for the vast majority of people, or being just plain selfish?
A propaganda film that is not true life. I like it since an enemy agent operates a bookstore. Radical Education Project Bookcenter later called United Front Bookstore by US Naval Intelligence Captain Dr. Frank Stearns Giese. American Opinion Bookstore had a section of Portland Police Intelligence creating dossiers for the John Birch Society that pretty much declared everyone a threat to national security except themselves.
Tell me more about this John Birch Society.
@@jasonclarke558 The John Birch society was a component of the 4th Reich (US) for short.
Is there no difference between doing counter intelligence and counter espionage because they are always mixed together?
Except the spelling.
Pristine
She wants to live a family lifestyle in Australia but is trying to get her son into Russian school? Sounds very suss to me. He can learn Russian in Australia!!
Don't promise a thorough body search unless you'll deliver...
Is the narration starting around 14:05 intentional humor?
27:27 If you want to come across as inconspicuous, then wear a black coat at night so your harder to be seen.
Good practical training film not intending to have great actors or anything. It teaches as it should.
This restaurant seems to be very famous amongst the agents...
Reminds me of the house search one "This makes a good place for 'polite dinner conversations'". XD
I wonder if that's how they got that guy with the Chinese?
-Unless they had someone over there?
draws attention from the workmen lol
Does anyone know what the story is with the woman at 36:41?
The bit starting at 12:49 is simply too hilarious to even be real
???? Just reporting observations
What if the entering party covers the covering party? What happens then?
Genius editing. Dynamic movie making.
Sooo who was the woman at the end (her picture is upside down) just curious 😂
Secret never gets stamped on secret stuff.
..have to wear a trench coat!
So the compromised official never notices his tail shows up every time he goes out to dinner?
Or that strange car that always seems to be following him everywhere he goes and parking suspiciously around the corner only to have the same guy go into the same restaurant and leave at the same time. If I was doing something I knew was illegal I'd have eyes on every pore of my skin.

Play it slow at 36:40 ... somebody put a subliminal upside down girl and x.x.x at the end of the video.
Why
go to a bed room ? 🤔🍀
The X=6 in numerology.
Remember that next time you goto an xxx site. The devil is sneaky.
Nothing subliminal about it--those were put there by the film lab that processed & printed this film. The upside-down girl is what's referred to in the film lab industry as a "china girl", used as a test subject to determine skin tones of people appearing on film, and the X'es are simply a marker denoting the end of the film (or negative the print was struck from), i've seen similar (usually 4 X'es) on the end leaders of a few 16mm & 35mm films, depending on how the lab marks their prints they've printed & developed. You'll also notice a frame after the china girl that's a resolution chart for testing the clarity of the print, it looks very similar to the 1951 USAF resolution test chart. No subliminal suggestion or conspiracies here, just a standard film lab end leader.
Thats right the Enlisted man alway at fault. Typical
Sgt.prentis is now ceo of bae systems.no kidding
Where is the movie the east Germans made around the same time, about western counter intelligence agents operating in east germany ??
This probably is it.... seeing how bumbling the americans keep acting in these films with the high and mighty acts they keep pulling. XD You can tell when Freulich finished the conversation and glared at the camera that he knew "if they actually meet then they're gassed". Would be a better twist if the Seargent was in on the snoop and revealed as Freulich passed him the money that he knew the information was fake so they could catch the mastermind in the act.
I’m seeing a fair amount of non-regulation hairstyles.
Me again. The Sarge is a dope. Really thought could work in that office, undetected? As if he's the first to think of such shenanigans?
The girl might be part of it too.
To be charged with treason is no joke. He should have gone to his superior the first time he was approached. Now, caught and charged for phony documents.
Yeah, the supension of disbelief is firmly lost when he casually takes out the documents and films them.... You're generally not even allowed in the BUILDING with cameras and there are eyes everywhere. Very likely the subordinates probably knew but given how strict the "Hierarchy" was emphasized back then, they probably were too afraid to report him. Sadly even up to modern day there are cases of people getting punished for reporting their superior doing illegal activity.... only starting to be acknowledged as of this year....Reminds me of the other one with McCreados and how the only reason the subordinate didn't Report what was going on was because they instilled the fear that HE would be in trouble for signing a receipt. and despite having strong reservations about it, he finally did report it and still got in trouble. They either WANT us to report bad behavior or every time we sign something, some Russian Spy might drop a piece of paper on our sarges' desk first and get us in even bigger trouble....
Who's the girl at 36:40?
She looks like someone who likes to play.
Excellent observation skills,you have passed. lol
