For over 50 years, the white radomes of the Teufelsberg have been
one of Berlin's most prominent landmarks. For half of this time the
city lay over 100 miles behind an 'Iron Curtain' that divided East
from West, and was surrounded by communist East Germany and the
densest concentration of Warsaw Pact military forces in Europe.
From the vantage point high on the Teufelsberg, British and
American personnel constantly monitored the electronic emissions
from the surrounding military forces, as well as high-level
political intelligence. Today, the Teufelsberg stands as a
contemporary and spectacular ruin, representing a significant relic
of a lost cyber space of Cold War electronic emissions and
espionage. Based on archaeological fieldwork and recently
declassified documents, this book presents a new history of the
Teufelsberg and other Western intelligence gathering sites in
Berlin. At a time when intelligence gathering is once more under
close scrutiny, when questions are being asked about the
intelligence relationship between the United States and Russia, and
amidst wider debate about the US's National Security Agency (NSA)
intelligence programmes, sites like the Teufelsberg raise questions
that appear both important and timely.
