Episode 10: Markus Wolf, Stasi Foreign Intelligence Chief - Part One
Episode description
Who’s the greatest spy that ever spied and love machine spreading Communism throughout the world? WOLF!
Markus Wolf that is. Join us as we discuss the early days of the elusive and seductive spy master of East Germany. Born in Germany, raised partially in the Soviet Union during WWII to committed communist parents, Wolf is perfectly placed to establish one of the most nebulous and far reaching intelligence networks of the cold war.
And because this guy is so fascinating we’ve split this into a two parter!
