The Stasi was the largest secret police that ever existed. This video will give an introduction, touching topics like:
- When was the Stasi founded?
- Who was the head of the Stasi?
- Did The Stasi work together with the KGB?
- How many people worked for the Stasi?
- What kind of businesses was The Stasi involved in?
- The Stasi files
I will issue more videos on Stasi related subjects soon.
When in Berlin, consider visiting the Stasi Museum: www.stasimuseum.de/en/enindex....
