The Silent Front: Spies and Secrets of the Cold War | Extra Long Documentary
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 มิ.ย. 2024
- During the Cold War, spies and military observers from both the West and the Soviet bloc operated extensively, with East Germany as a focal point for Western intelligence to closely monitor Soviet military activities. In the 1980s, as the Soviet army modernized, tensions peaked, particularly in 1983 when NATO's nuclear release drills alarmed Moscow. The documentary reveals a complex web of espionage, including a mole within the Allies, and explores whether this intelligence warfare contributed to keeping the Cold War from turning hot.

I usually only fall asleep to video’s this long. I couldn’t look away for nearly two hours
Me too cuz it was informative and interesting
I hear you for sure
Also me. From Montenegro
A very fascinating, informative and interesting documentary, where it references the human nature of greed to sell its own motherland just for money and the opposites also, where brave and patriotic men sacrifice their life for safeguarding their own nation. Such a reality made this documentary so interesting and informative. Many thanks for sharing it with us, who basically had no knowledge of the thrilled espionage and counter-espionage.
It's content like this that validates my decision to have ditched cable.
Thanks, you saved me 2 hours
@@juliusraben3526how?
Can I have your cable then?
The wicked have control. But it won't last . Truth will set you free
It’s lasted forever
Explain that for me
Both of you
I can't believe I watched this for two and a half hours! It was fascinating, riveting in fact. So much ground was covered and so little I found I had really known.
Its worth the watch.
If you watched Bridge of Spies, an excellent movie about Adel and Gary Powers, Spielberg gives the impression, at the end, that Bruno Adel is getting into a car, to be executed by KGB ehen the truth was he was welcomed home as a hero of the USSR.
And Francis Gary Powers slipped away into obscurity..
Because he didn't swallow his cyanide capsule.

The information on the Rosenbergs confirms that they were sentenced properly
I remember taking part in ReForger 1983 in West Germany and I recall being surprised at the number of brass and high ranking Officers
Present, observing. Now I know what was going on.
//;;//;//;;//...
ReForger 1983 in Delta Cadre 2/36 Infantry here. A platoon plus at best. They gave us a whole company sector. Spread too thin. Can't forget Private Ping, a mechanic, taking on a whole Panzer battalion. He was POW day one. The Germans treated him as an honored guest. Better food than we got. A cot too! While we were in mud holes. Of course he missed when our cadre attacked a panzer grenadier company and the graders said we won. Craziest ReForger I was ever on.
My dad did ReForger in 84 or 85. Said it rained and was cold as hell, and they got lost and walked up to the autobahn in the dark by accident.
Excellent!
This is an amazing show.
Wow. I learned so much.
Wonderful movie, thank you
Thank you,Dearly
Thanks. I especially appreciated the comparison between the BMW and the russian car🫣.
That was mega interesting, would love more suggestions like this, any help appreciated!
This was fascinating!! Thank you!!
Hola
Fantastic doco' well done.
*it's hard to imagine what HUMAN BEINGS are willing to do to eachother, just to get more power and influence over one another !.*
Yes, then and still now.
Major Arthur Nicholson was a hero a hard charger who went to the edge for us.
Interesting and informative. Excellent photography job enabling viewers to better understand what/whom the orator was describing. Special thanks to the veteran espionage agents. Sharing personal information/experiences. Making this documentary more authentic and possible. Spy vs Spy activities gave those James Bond wanna bee's. A steady post war pay check. Remember the " Real Deal " WW-2 Navel intelligence agent Ian Fleming ??? He made some high dollar paychecks with the Bond novels.💰💰
This really is a very poor pro USA piece of outright propaganda and nothing actually factual about much of it.
there is nothing informative about it this is propaganda , brainwashing
Not saying that the couple that was condemned to death wasn’t harsh but for the other gentlemen to only get 14 years shows how unjust the system has always been! Treason is Treason Rt??
So by that reasoning you want Julian Assange to stay in prison. There is justification for it at times. Like if a CIA operative blew the whistle on the black ops. It would be classes as treason. But to expose the secret tech of antigravitic craft and the fact they are transporting 1000s of tones of coacain and cash. With a full stockpile of armament ready for extensive battle. Then yeah the treason is justified. So no treason is not black and white.
2:26:26 that's a true traitor. As are he's handlers excepting he's deal.
Treason? If there wasn't any treason honestly I think we'd have blew ourselves up a long time ago that being said it comes down to FBI CIA all these different branches of government that don't work together in a sense and go behind each other's back and cover up war crimes and genocide for the last 100 years it's like it's all been working together to create one agenda and that agenda now ladies and gentlemen is unraveling like a scroll get ready
Weren’t the sentences given in two entirely different countries?
Exellent !
In the reenactment the actor is wearing both sergeant's chevrons and major's crowns. I'm surprised they couldn't do better than that.
22:41 The shooting of Nickolson was the result of improper training of the East block sentry, it should never have happened. But, it’s a risky job and armed sentries when given obscure orders tend to shoot first. It was a high risk dangerous game everyone was playing. If you play with guns, bad things happen, it’s the hazard of the spy game!
Very well said miss
Did you serve with Nicholson?
Improper training, why do you think it wasnt wide spread news over there or anybody up in arms about it and he got buried quietly out of the media glare and told he died in the line of duty or even told to his family he died in a training accident??? Because he shouldn't have bloodywell been where he was it was even sign posted off limits, and the guard had everyright to shoot him by preventing the enemy snooping around sensitive military equipment, the guard was doing the job he was trained to do, and the merican gov new he shouldn't have been anywhere near there, and all those he worked for and even him new the risks involved, hence his death and burial was a quiet affair and every body new it would be impossible to claim victim on this one..imagine knowing your enemy would do absolutely nothing if you tried to sneak into these sensitive place to photograph or even steal sensitive parts, every swinging dick would be trying it wouldn't they, in fact you could even send dummies to do it and have no need for specialist soldiers or guards...as a deterrent would be non existent..
Many Secrets and tech remain secret and always will be.
SA-6. The SA stands for surface to air not air to ground. Y'all need to get better editors. 😎
690ESW, Marienfelde, West Berlin, 1983 - 1990.
Please sort out the sound! This program is an amazing recalling of brave men. Well presented Mr Clarkson 🏴👌🏻🤔👌🏻
Sound? It's your device, mate. I'm watching it on my PS4. No sound issues here
Sounds like the Teapot Brigade on Nostalgic topics
2:17:30 I love this part of the story!
Now that’s extraordinary.
Same. Here. Me only one thought
It is rare that this things are visible.
SA6 is a SURFACE to AIR missile, and not the other way round.
I was stationed in West Germany thru most of the mid and late 80s. I remember the briefings
Putin's cream ice very revealing

Did you know Nicholson or Schatz
A Barbaric Solipsist Paradigm, where Life observes Life itself and believes not in the Sanctity of Other Lives.
And the fear of the future t-80 was the reason we ended up with the M-1 tank in 79.
The M1 wasn't received by Armor Units along the Iron Curtain until late 81 or early 82...
The T80 was never a concern to US Forces. The T72 was the Soviets MBT until after 84... They also still relied on T54, T64, etc.
US Forces along the Iron Curtain were already geared up to use Tank Killer Teams to deal with Soviet Armor. (A10s, and Cobra/Apache gun ships.)
Plus, the M60 was a damn fine MBT...
The Soviets outnumbered NATO tanks 12 to 1, but they were inferior in quality. This fact is attested in the fact that they didn't dare attack. It would have been their slaughter.... We knew it, and more importantly, they knew it..
It was a scary time.
2:26:26 I like seeing that video of the last seconds of freedom for turd Robert Hanson before his colleagues take him into custody. These POS's should face the ultimate penalty, anything less is ridiculous.
1:37:16 geez can you get a little closer to them gas fumes, looks like he already inhaled his fair share.
😂😂😂
I'm confused why they agreed to a joint autopsy of Nicholson's body, when all parties already knew how he died.....he was shot, so what would an autopsy accomplish?
Anybody shot gets an autopsy. Period.
US would have wanted the bullet. To test them. They find the calibre of the projectile. The metals it's made from. They can tell the distance of the shot. It will prove that without a doubt, he was shot and to verify the story because they didn't believe each other and didn't trust an accurate report.
So by testing the bullet, they'll know what protective measures to take. Such as how thick or strong amour needs to be.
@Awesomes007 yea, that too. Anyone dead is an automatic autopsie
I can see why the Soviet’s would ask for this. It is intended to confuse.
This is a better reason for certain.

Gary Powers died in a helicopter crash in California in 1970/80,90 sad end to what he went through
Msr. Staub was impressed by how much the Soviets could drink, did the Soviets have a pill to limit the effects of alcohol? And keep their counterpart talking.
Business and personal meetings in USSR and Russia, at least back then involved drinking lots (by western standards) of vodka. A glass full wasn’t that much for them. The government had a monopoly on alcohol production and for centuries encouraged drinking because it kept people sedated and not thinking and rioting too much, which in a country as big and autocratic as Russia would mean all fingers get pointed at the government for the shitty life. Fun fact.
With respect, I still believe the Russians had a pill to metabolize alcohol and safely excrete it as urine, my naive knowledge of chemistry suggests it is theoretically possible.@@peterl3417
Why don't you do one on Project 112 ?

What drink is your country most famous for??, thats right none, wine invented and shown by Romans that only women drink and coffee by Persian Arabs you must be very proud.... Hop off buddy.
2:06:59 why is there a QR code on the roof? Its not fresh. Its taterd and faded. Looks like its been there long bedore we used QR codes
lol...wow it does look like that doesnt it😮😅
I'm mean there is that picture with putin next to Regan with that camera...
The best part of this show to me is when the guys are retired there lives soon to end. And a friendship is kindred ❤
War is not, has ended

I can't believe Bono was a spy

My grandfather was a royal Scots fusilier.... He got a DCM medal when fighting the germans
Cañt even listen to this red head REALLY
So Whats your point🤔
Interesting what happened AFTER Oppenheimer...
What is amazing is just how France was considered one of the Axis powers.
Vichy
I think you are referring to Vichy France under Petain. Degaulle flew the coop to avoid the Wermacht. Most of France was for the allies. Petain was actually seen as a hero by most of the army, as he did a lot for the common soldier in WW1. The French lost like 400,000 men in the first three months of WW1. The upper echelon of the French army were horrible leaders in WW1.
If the soviets were run out of Afghanistan like the French, and Alexander the Great,
why did the US think things would be different? They have the best weapon in their terrain.
Hubris and American arrogance. It will be its undoing in 2024
It’s a huge resource sink for sure, the Soviets killed and displaced millions of people there, the US built thousands of schools and tripled the literacy rate. The Taliban will undo part of that progress, but at least the situation improved compared to before 2001.
"Felfer (of the BND) was an arch opportunist who sold himself to the highest bidder"....ha ha. I wonder what he would have been had his masters been the CIA/MI5? An Arch Angel, I suppose? What convincing reasoning!
We still stand at the brink of destruction.
It’s interesting anyway.
The Audie Quattro with V8 motors were the fastest we used, 200 kms it would accelerate very hard to over 240 250 kms per hour,great adrenalin booster. Ha HA HA ! Be Blessed

One twist with spec to Klaus Fuchs, is that he also helped the British get their atomic bomb…
Is this the guy they based that one ai boice off of?
One conclusion: These spies helped keep the idiots from killing us all!

2:18:55-2:19:20 ain’t it a tragedy that Belarus and Russia are so far from friends from us in the west currently?
I personally think it is. Irony really.
What caused all this intrigue , mistrust, and the Cold War in the first place? The United States built ,tested and deployed nuclear weapon. At that time the Soviet Union was an Alliance member just like the UK and should have been given the bomb.the US should have known that they were going to get it in time anyway because it’s the most powerful weapon ever built. Giving them the bomb would have gone a long way towards peace and friendship and TRUST. The USSR would have payed anything for the bomb and did. The US president at the time was a fool for not using a little brain power and obvious sense and know how the Soviets would react to this backstabbing durning the war.
Stop parroting Kremlin propaganda. The Brits and French were also denied atomic knowledge but didn’t have serious considerations for war with the US. The Soviets broke all trust we had for them by falsifying elections in ALL of Eastern Europe, which was supposed to be free, albeit still under their sphere of influence. We gave them IMMENSE amounts of aid like half if their aviation fuel, millions of tons if food, half a million trucks without which they wouldn’t have been able to supply their advancing forces. We gave them lots of help and they not only never paid back but used that aid to fuel their armies to crush Eastern European democracy.
As someone who worked at Marienfelde, I found this very interesting/
Does it annoy anyone else every time you hear the words air to ground
It seems not.

Co fidently called suitable I. This case the cold war message through on relatives secret grades.
At the hight of the cold War the Soviet Union were donated thousands of condoms from the US. They sent extra large ones but wrote regular on the packaging lol
Soviet tanks use auto loading systems. Inferior and slower than a human loader.
Yet quantity has a quality all it's own.
Commie and jihadi mindset … yet carpet bombs 💣 automatic weapons and incendiary devices can take out an entire battalion in a few seconds💥🔥💥🔥💥
Then quantity is no more 💨
When loading speeds come into play, quantity can be negated by a well trained human loader.
Interesting. I’m a little disappointed at how inept both sides are . Your in a business we’re literally everyone is suspect. You don’t have a balance checking on these cats etc. and those cats etc. I’m referring to your own side. Constantly making sure no one is a mole or turncoat. Just a question from a common outsider look 👀 ing in. Not looking for nasty comments or a condescending reply. I’m interested in learning. Thank you 🙏🏼

The Joint Autopsy was Firstly to Ensure That The Deceased was NOT Disrespected, by any Opponent, Military, Civilian, Or, Medical.
You have to appreciate, that the Opponent's were Educated + Trained in the Time between 1945 through to the date of the Murder, they quite literally Hated each other. That is War.

My brother was code breaker for CIA in mekong delta Vietnam. Noone ever knew thats all i know
My brother was a code MAKER for US forces in VN. Figured out something that was easy enough to use so troops would actually use it but still tough enough to break that the VC couldn't crack it until the info they got was no longer of any use. I did several kinds of interesting stuff in various places but if I told what and where I would have to kill everybody on TH-cam.

GDR is it not DDR?
CCCP vs USSR, same thing.
Not really because CCCP was in Cyrillic script, East Germans used the Western Alphabet (DDR). CCCP still may not mean anything to the peasants of the Urals! @@peterl3417
how many times is the narrator going to say 'AIR TO GOUND missiles'? Can you get your facts straight first please? What, air to ground missiles mounted on a truck? What, a flying truck?

The Russian spies had it best. They got to stay in the US or places like west Germany.
yap nothing had changed yet🤷🏻♂️
I don't think they ever believed that. They just had to convince the public.
@@bentucker2301 In their May Day parades they had fake missiles and military vehicles that had non-functioning weaponry attached. It was all show.
Military intelligence - now there's an oxymoron.
