Letter opened by MfS. In earlier times they opened letters and closed them with paper seals. Later the letters were opened with special Instruments. So nobody found out that the letter had been opened.

I must congratulate you on saving so many items other people would simply like to forget. Your collection should be the basis for a national "Zeitgeschichte" historical museum. You have been saving so much that has been thrown away.... :cheers:

Container for film and tool for copying keys

Most people do not know that Mr. Mielke had his own Paras. Their job was Sabotage etc.

Here is some of their equipment: Helmet, radio direction finder, radio with antenna for helmet

The photographs were taken in a museum where I was allowed to play for 11 weeks on 400 sqm. Unfortunately the museum was not big enough.

The Germans are not ready for working on their cold war history.For this reason I am planning to leave the country and have an own museum on cold war history in another country.
